A Chrome extension that lets you copy console output without stack traces. Only the messages you see — console.log, console.warn, console.error, console.info, and console.debug — cleanly formatted and ready to paste.
- Clone or download this repository
- Open
chrome://extensions/in Chrome - Enable Developer mode (toggle in the top right)
- Click Load unpacked
- Select the
chrome-console-copyfolder - Pin the extension from the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar for quick access
- Navigate to any webpage
- Interact with the page (console messages are captured automatically in the background)
- Click the Console Copy extension icon to open the popup
- Use the controls to view and copy logs:
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Copy All | Copy every captured log to the clipboard |
| Copy Filtered | Copy only the logs currently visible after applying filters |
| Clear | Clear all captured logs for the current tab |
| Level checkboxes | Toggle which log levels are shown (log, info, warn, error, debug) |
| Include field | Only show logs matching any of the comma-separated terms |
| Exclude field | Hide logs matching any of the comma-separated terms |
.* toggle |
Switch between plain text and regex mode for the include/exclude fields |
- Include
api, fetch— only shows logs containing "api" or "fetch" - Exclude
heartbeat, ping— hides logs containing "heartbeat" or "ping" - Regex mode (
.*active): Include\d{3}— only shows logs containing a 3-digit number - Combine include, exclude, and level filters to narrow down exactly what you need
- Logs are captured per tab and cleared automatically on page navigation
- Up to 5,000 log entries are stored per tab
- The original console output in DevTools is unaffected — the extension only intercepts to capture a copy
console.log("Hello %s", name)style formatting is supported- Error objects show
name: messageonly, with no stack trace
The extension injects a content script (content.js) into every page at document_start in the MAIN world. This script wraps the native console.* methods to capture formatted output. Messages are relayed through a bridge script to a background service worker that stores them per tab. The popup reads from this store and provides filtering and clipboard copy.
