Working/Debugging in php/js/vuejs apps in Google Chrome
Version 100.0.4896.75 (Official Build) (64-bit) I have a lot of options in my browser :

printscreen

I use some of them(they are marked in the printscreen above), but I wander can other options be usefull?
Some points are clear, but what for “Preserve log”, “No throttling”, “More network conditions”, “…har file”,
“Create live expression” , “Eager evaluation” , “Evaluate triggers…” ?

Thanks!

Preserve log saves requests across page loads
Throttling enables you to emulate a slower network connection (and no throttling turns this back off)
Network conditions let you do things such as override the user agent string
Save as HAR with Content saves all requests that have occurred since you opened DevTools to a HAR file.
Live expressions allow you to watch values in real time
Eager Evaluation means that when you type an expression in the console, you see a preview of the result of that expression below your cursor
No idea what Evaluate triggers does. Sorry.

For further settings, I would recommend checking the network features reference:

Also, this is a great article about using the console to debug JavaScript. You might find it useful.
