Hi Keith The chromium engine is not the same as the chrome browser. So the browser has the dev tools. The engine will have some code base that the browser can pull from to display as tools.
The browser widget is a browser in its own right. It does not, at least as far as I’m aware, embed a chrome browser into a container. It uses the chromium engine to feed data that can be interpreted and displayed within a widget canvas. So dev tools would have to be written into the widget to access things l’île the throttling settings so that you could manipulate them using properties in the UI or by code. I hope this leads to solving your rsi problem eventually. It is a pain when the dev tools disappear when you load a new page and you can’t set it to stay up and stay throttled. Send a feature request to google.
