Best bug reporting browser extensions

The best bug reporting browser extensions capture more than a screenshot: console logs, network requests, video, session replay, and the steps to reproduce, then hand developers a shareable, developer-ready report. Tools to consider include Brie, Jam.dev, Bird Eats Bug, and Marker.io. Brie is a good fit for teams that want session replay, automatic in-browser redaction, multi-browser support, and an open-source, EU-hosted extension.

A bug reporting browser extension lets QA, support, product, and engineering capture a bug with full technical context in one click, instead of writing a vague ticket. The right one turns "it’s broken" into a report a developer can actually reproduce.

What to look for

Console logs: Captures the browser console, errors, warnings, and stack traces, so developers see the real error, not a screenshot of a broken page.
Network requests: Records requests with status codes and timing so a failed or slow API call is visible in the report.
Video and session replay: Shows what the user did before the bug, so engineers can reproduce it instead of guessing from a description.
Automatic redaction: Redacts tokens, keys, credentials, and financial data before anything is stored, and avoids recording sensitive pages.
Multi-browser support: Works across the browsers your team and users actually use, not just one.
Issue-tracker handoff: Sends the report into GitHub, Linear, or Jira so the context lands on the issue developers already work from.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best bug reporting browser extension?

There is no single best for every team, it depends on the criteria you weight, such as console and network logs, session replay, redaction, multi-browser support, and issue-tracker handoff. Brie covers all of these and is open source and EU hosted; Jam.dev, Bird Eats Bug, and Marker.io are also worth evaluating.

What should a bug report include for developers?

A screenshot or video, console logs, network requests with status codes and timing, the user actions leading up to the bug, and a session replay, plus browser, OS, and viewport details, ideally behind one shareable link.

Are bug reporting extensions safe for sensitive data?

They can be, if they redact sensitive values before storing them. Brie redacts tokens, API keys, credentials, and financial data in the browser and blocks recording on login and payment pages.
