I don't have to use the tool for daily work to think it's kinda neat.

I agree. Totally useless to help you code. You're better off shooting in the dark looking up functions and variables with crtl+F.

But I appreciate seeing the chromium source code like this. It helps put things into perspective, but I totally get what you're saying. It's useless beyond the surface level haha
