Pause Script Execution is a Chrome extension developed by Andy Smith that allows users to pause JavaScript execution easily for debugging purposes. By simply pressing a hotkey (default Ctrl+Shift+S) within Chrome DevTools, users can freeze script execution to inspect webpage elements that may be moving too quickly or disappearing. This extension essentially triggers the "debugger" command, providing a snapshot of the page's state for detailed examination. Users can adjust the hotkey to their preference via Extensions -> Keyboard shortcuts -> Pause Script Execution.

This lightweight and straightforward extension offers a convenient solution for developers seeking to troubleshoot dynamic web elements efficiently.
