How to edit / reset Chrome DevTools Settings manually on disk?

Chrome 44 has a new DevTools experiment called Material Construction (you need to enable DevTools experiments and then press 6 shift).

After enabling this experiment, DevTools no longer opens. I have tried different ways to launch it (including chrome://inspect

) but to no avail.
It does open, as I can see the DevTools url inchrome://inspect/#other

But the panel is not displayed.

Therefore, I have no way to disable these specific experiments through the interface.
I can turn off all DevTools experiments with chrome://flags/#enable-devtools-experiments

, then DevTools works fine again. But then I have no way of allowing other experiments that I really want.

Is there a way to manually edit DevTools settings in some file?

Here are some quick steps that should work:



  • Disable experiments and open DevTools.
  • Put DevTools in its own window (long press the dock button to the bottom button and select the popup.)
  • When the DevTools window is focused, check it (Ctrl + Shift + I).
  • Navigate to Resources> localstorage. Then beforechrome-devtools://devtools

  • Delete experiment key.
  • Re-enable experiments.

If you want to reset all devtools settings, you can also delete Local Storage/chrome-devtools_devtools_0.localstorage*

from your Google Chrome profile directory and restart Chrome.

If you want to reset just setup experiments and have a nice sqlite3 client, you can open Local Storage/chrome-devtools_devtools_0.localstorage

and delete the setting:



delete from ItemTable where key = 'experiments';

... and of course restart Chrome.
