Find and fix problems with the Issues tab

The Issues tab in Chrome DevTools reduces the notification fatigue and clutter of the Console. Use it to find solutions to problems detected by the browser, such as cookie issues and mixed content.

# Open the Issues tab

1. Visit a page with issues to fix, such as samesite-sandbox.glitch.me.

2. Open DevTools.

3. Click the Go to Issues button in the yellow warning bar.

   

   Alternatively, select Issues from the More tools menu.

   

4. Once you're on the Issues tab, click the Reload page button if necessary.

   

   You'll notice that issues reported in the Console (such as the cookie warnings here) are quite hard to understand. It's not clear what needs to be done to fix the issues reported.

   

# View items in the Issues tab

The Issues tab presents warnings from the browser in a structured, aggregated, and actionable way.

1. Click an item in the Issues tab to get guidance on how to fix the issue and find affected resources.

   

   Each item has four components:

   • A headline describing the issue.
   • A description providing the context and the solution.
   • An AFFECTED RESOURCES section that links to resources within the appropriate DevTools context, such as the Network panel.
   • Links to further guidance.

2. Click on AFFECTED RESOURCES items to view details. In this example, there is one cookie and one request affected.

   

# View issues in context

1. Click on a resource link to view the item in the appropriate context within DevTools. In this example, click samesite-sandbox.glitch.me to show the cookies attached to that request.

   

2. Scroll to view the item with a problem: in this case, the cookie ck02. Hover over the information icon on the right to see the problem and how to fix it.
