Advanced Google Chrome Logging

tldr;

Run in terminal:

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --enable-logging --v=1&
tail -f ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/chrome_debug.log

If you are wondering how to know just about everything that Google Chrome is doing, you can enable verbose logging to a file. If you are running on a Mac, you can follow similar steps to launch Google Chrome in verbose logging mode.

  • Make sure Google Chrome is not already running
  • Open Terminal
  • Find path to Google Chrome that most closely resembles the following

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome

  • Once verified, launch Google chrome with verbose logging flag by running verified path with flags

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --enable-logging --v=1

  • Find logging file, chrome_debug.log, that most likely lives at

~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome

  • Watch the file for updates using tail or some other application

tail -f ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/chrome_debug.log

This is using Google Chrome version 21

Pandora.com using Amazon.com images?

Is it just me thinking this or is Pandora.com really using product images from Amazon.com? Maybe they are both using images from the same source? Who owns the image?

I’m curious as to where this original image came from and the licensing on it. Each song on Pandora.com has a link to purchase the song on Amazon so maybe they have a deal with Amazon to use the images? I can’t find anything on the web about this though and would love to see if you can find anything out. Let me know in the comments below.
