Use Chrome device inspector with or without chrome 39.0.2171.59 +

Question

I used to be able to inspect devices with Chrome Canary ? Since today.

Device inspector prompt that should install Chrome 39.0.2171xx:

The two suggested versions number are exactly the chrome mobile versions I have installed on the two respective devices I try to test with.

Canary says it's up to date at version 38.0.2120.0

So What should I do to be able to use Chrome device inspector again ?

Answer 1

You can't use device inspector with an older version of chrome on your desktop than on the device. In my case Chrome auto update was not functioning. I had to update manually.

I just went to Canary Download page

https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html

and Chrome beta Download page

https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/beta.html

Now I can enjoy Chrome's latest features
