Troubleshooting
Chrome's debugger keeps invoking
The Problem
Exceptionally well summarized by Dennis Karg in the partner forums.
The new Bot Protection aka Cloudflare TURNSTILE regularly starts the Dev Debugger.
On Webflow websites where Bot Protection is enabled, the web workers (usually 2) active from TURNSTILE seem to start the debugger every 8-12 seconds and stop again after 1 second. The fact that the debugger is switched on ensures that the ‘Sources’ panel is always selected regardless of the currently active Dev Tool Panel. This happens both in regular use with Chrome Extensions and in incognito.
The Solution
Shared by Webflow's James Mosier:
This is a side effect with Turnstile, not Webflow specifically. It is a security measure to ensure Turnstile is not tampered with and is implemented by Cloudflare.
To prevent this you can disable breakpoints in your browser devtools.
