chromium: Open with a DevTools window for each tab opened.
$ chromium --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs
try on your machine

The command "chromium --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs" is used to open the Developer Tools automatically for each new tab opened in the Chromium browser.

Chromium is an open-source web browser project that serves as the foundation for various other browsers, including Google Chrome. The Developer Tools in Chromium (and Chrome) provide a set of features for debugging, inspecting, and analyzing web pages.

By running the command "chromium --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs," you are instructing the browser to automatically open the Developer Tools panel for each new tab that is launched. This can be helpful for developers who frequently need to debug and test websites or web applications.

Additionally, by default, the Developer Tools usually need to be manually opened for each tab by clicking on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the browser window, selecting "More tools," and then choosing "Developer Tools." The command eliminates the need for this manual step, saving time and effort for developers.
