How to remove codes generated by plugins from Chrome browser developers tool?

I'm using Google Chrome Developers tool and console while developing and debugging my web applications.

I've some Chrome plugins/extensions installed. These plugins/extensions add extra markups and scripts in the pages while rendering them in the browser, and when I view my codes in the developers tool, makes it a lot messy.

I want a clean way to view my codes without those extra markups.

So is there a way to toggle (disable/enable) the plugins quickly, or in the best way, to disable them in a particular tab? I've several plugins/extensions installed and I don't think it's a good idea to disable and then re-enable them manually. Besides, I may want to use a plugin/extension while I'm browsing other websites on other tabs simultaneously.

Would running 2 separate instances of Chrome be of help for you?

(You can start 2 unrelated Chrome browser instances from a command line specifying different user directories: chrome --user-data-dir=userdata1 & chrome --user-data-dir=userdata2 )

I haven't tried it for your usecase, but it sounds reasonable.

There's no mechanism to disable an extension for a specific tab, or specific host. You could hack something together via the management API that would disable extensions when you hit a specific URL, but that disabled state would be global, not local.

Extensions don't, however, run in Incognito mode (unless you explicitly whitelist them via a checkbox at chrome://extensions): that might be a decent workaround for you. Load your in-development site in Incognito, work with it there in a clean environment, and pop back into your regular window for normal browsing.

You could, of course, accomplish the same thing by setting up a specific profile for development in which you simply didn't install extensions.

These are workarounds, of course. You should feel free to file a feature request for more granular user-side control over when extensions are loaded: http://new.crbug.com/
