TIL - Filter Console Logs on Google Chrome

Today I learn that you can filter logs like those generated by console.log by using URL filters on Google Chrome.

You can type any substring in the "Filter" input on Google Chrome's DevTools console like this:

In the image above you can notice that the substring "data" is contained in the filtered logs.

You can also filter logs from a specific domain. You can type url: and an autocomplete menu will be displayed like this:

You can select a top domain, a specific script from the list, or your own substring from the domain like "tube" and it will filter the logs matching that domain.

Tip: if for some reason you close the autocomplete list, you can click ctrl + l to open it again.

You can even include regular expressions like /^=/ to include logs that start with a = or -/^=/ to include logs that don't start with a =.

To exclude multiple words by using multiple regular expressions like this -any -of -this -words -will -be -included -in -the -logs.

That's it! I hope this little tip is useful to you!
