Standalone application
If the browser does not support the extension, or policy blocks extension installation or access to
chrome://extensions, Vue Inspector can be launched via a bookmarklet on the current page — without installing the extension.
Data storage
Standalone uses its own local storage: settings and media persist between launches and are not tied to a single site. Like the extension, it provides a single shared profile across all domains where the bookmark is used. Full comparison with the extension is available in Installation → Where settings are stored; media limits for background assets are described in Customize.
Installation
- Open the installation section on the main project page.
- Under Bookmarklet Mode, drag the Vue Inspector button to the browser bookmarks bar.
Usage
- Open a page with a Vue application;
- Click the saved Vue Inspector bookmark;
- The inspector panel opens at the bottom of the page.
