    Also, what is the plan for making tools like the Memory view

    to the Settings. I worry that users may not know to click on the

    we do.


​This is a good conversation to have, but I don't have any good answers. We have a lot of panels in the devtools, many of which are fairly niche, and it isn't clear how to simultaneously give them visibility and not overwhelm users.

Console, debugger, performance: these panels are ​a clear "always show" to me. The web audio tool is very niche and so I don't think it would make sense to show it by default. The memory tool falls in between in my mind. I'm open to suggestions!
We could add a [...] or similar button at the end with a dropdown for the other tools? With some TBD as to whether that enables them permanently or just for that site and/or how to toggle that.
