JavaScript is among the most open-source friendly languages. Thus, when faced with a question “why doesn’t it call this function?” or “What changes this property?”, most of the time we have the code of 3rd-party libraries ready and available for us to dive into for debug. Still, sometimes you only have the minified version of a library, or a normal version so big and complicated - you give up after pressing “step into method” over 30 times. You need to track the exact place where one of your objects properties is used.

Solution? Use Chrome and the most awesome feature of ES6 – Proxies! Your users are locked into IE 8 and no ES6? What’s wrong with your organization? Ok, but you as a developer, surely can use Chrome, just for this debug session? Proxies are supported by all modern browser releases for at least a year , and current versions of Node.
