If you want to view the events which are tied to an element you can call getEventListeners(<element>) on the element:
> getEventListeners($('input[name=q]'))
  Object {focus: Array[2], blur: Array[2], keydown: Array[1], select: Array[1], mousedown: Array[1]…}

Monitor (Multiple) Events on an Element

You can monitor the events on an element with monitorEvents(<element>, <name(s)>) by passing the element and a name of the event or array of event names:
> monitorEvents($('input[name=q]'), 'click')
  undefined
  ... click on element ...
  click ▶ MouseEvent {dataTransfer: null, toElement: input#gbqfq.gbqfif, fromElement: null, y: 329, x: 265…}
> monitorEvents($('input[name=q]'), ['blur', 'keydown'])
  ...

Unmonitor Events on an Element

To remove all event monitors on an element, use unmonitorEvents(<element>):
> unmonitorEvents($('input[name=q]'))

You can convert the page to be editable with the contentEditable flag.
> document.body.contentEditable = true

Logging Objects

Use comma:
> console.log('Window', windo
  Window ▶ Window {top: Window, window: Window, location: Location, external: Object, chrome: Object…}
> console.log('Window', window, 'Body', document.body)
  Window ▶ Window {top: Window, window: Window, location: Location, external: Object, chrome: Object…}
  Body ▶ <body data-ember-extension="1" data-twttr-rendered="true" contenteditable="true">…</body>

Start/Stop Timer

You can start and stop a named timer with time(<name>) and timeEnd(<name>):
> console.time('myTime')
  undefined
> console.timeEnd('myTime')
  myTime: 5934.533ms
> console.time('myLoop');
  for (var i=0; i < 100000; i++) {
    2 + 2 * 3;
  }
  console.timeEnd('myLoop');
  myLoop: 60.568ms 

Group Logs in Console

You can group console logs by using the groupCollapsed(<name>) and groupEnd():
> console.groupCollapsed('My Error');
  for (var i=50; i--;) {
    console.error(i);
  }
  console.groupEnd()
  ▶ My Error

Display Array Content as Table

You can display your array content in a table view using table(<array>):
> var myArray = [{a:1, b:2, c:3}, {a:1, b:2, c:3}, {a:1, b:2, c:3}, {a:1, b:2, d:'tttt'}, {a:1, b:2, kkk:'foo'}]
  undefined
> console.table(myArray)


Clear Console

      (anonymous function)
      InjectedScript._evaluateOn
      InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrap
      InjectedScript.evaluate

Log Times Function is Called

You can log the number of times a function is called by using count(<message>):

function foo() {
console.count('fooed');
}
undefined
foo()
fooed: 1
foo()
fooed: 2
foo()
fooed: 3
foo()
fooed: 4

Now you can find the profile in the profiles tab with the name aaaa.
