Google Chrom Console Extension

I know this might be a silly question but what extension do I download to use the google Chrome Console that they use in the videos of javascript. I know with firefox it is firebug but I cannot see to figure out how to get the console on chrome.

Thanks!!

There are multiple ways to do this. You can do what Alex recommended, you can click in the upper right hand corner and go to Tools > Developer Tools, or if you start to use it a lot you can use the shortcut option + command + i if you are on a mac or ctrl + shift + i if you are on a PC.

Right click on the page and select Inspect Element.

There is probably an option in one of the Menus. View -> Developer Tools or something like that.
