Chrome Remote Debugging from Windows 10 to Android
Raw
chrome-remote-deugging-windows-10-android.md

My Windows 10 wouldn't recognize my phone. After using adb it now works. Here's how.

  • Connect your Android phone via USB
  • When it asks what to connect as, choose "Camera (PTP)"
  • Open Google Chrome and the webpage you want to test
  • Open Chrome Developer Tools and find the "Remote Devices" tab

Now, your phone might or might not appear in this tab.
On my OS X and Fedora, it did. On Windows I had to get Android Debug Bridge ("ADB"):

  • Download ADB for Windows here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
  • Open PowerShell ("Ubuntu for Bash" or Hyper did not work for me in this case)
  • Navigate into the ADB folder you just downloaded
  • Run .\adb.exe devices to see if your device is connected
  • If not, run .\adb.exe kill-server followed by .\adb.exe start-server

Thanks a bunch! after 2h of troubleshooting, this is your tutorial, especially the 'adb' install, which unblocked me. Thanks again.
