How to debug Android's built-in browser for my website?

My website works well on Google Chrome 42 and Mozilla Firefox 47 on Android, but doesn't work with Android's built-in browser (also with Opera Mini 17), how can I know which part of javascript that makes my site not running correctly?

Note: I didn't ask for debugging on Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox mobile, but for Android's built-in browser or with Opera Mini

You can utilise a great tool called Weinre for this purpose :)

What does it do?

It allows you to debug website running on your phone from your desktop, think of it as a developer tool for your mobile web browser.

How do I set it up?

First install npm, if you're on Windows, follow this link npm on Windows Run cmd as admin, then install weinre with the following command:

npm -g install weinre

Now start the weinre server:

weinre --httpPort 8081 --boundHost -all-

--httpPort specifies the port to run the HTTP server on, default is 8080.
--boundHost specifies the ip address to bind the server to. Default is localhost, but for convenience make it bind to all ip addresses.

Now go to http://localhost:8081/, you will see your Weinre running nice and fresh.
