An Alias to run Chrome with tracing enabled

For Chrome Canary:

alias hydra='/Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome\ Canary --no-sandbox --js-flags="--user-data-dir=/tmp/profile --trace-hydrogen --trace-phase=Z --trace-deopt --code-comments --hydrogen-track-positions --redirect-code-traces"'

For regular ol' Chrome:

	# config/initializers/web_console.rb
	WebConsoleBeforeAction = ->(controller) do
	controller.console if controller.params[:web_console]
	end

	ApplicationController.before_action(WebConsoleBeforeAction) if defined?(WebConsole) && Rails.env.development?

	# NOTE:
	# For security reasons only do this in development.
