Debugging Node: tutorial in article about debugging Node with Chrome does not work

Describe your suggestion

There are 2 issues:

  1. In my case when clicking on the article on the third assignment (debugging with Chrome) it would sometimes not show the entirety of the content, and when it did, the site always stopped working. I don't know if it is something that only happens to me, but other links work perfectly.

  2. When following the tutorial, the file would not stop at the breakpoints. I found this bout the topic: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/devtools-protocol/issues/85 which basically says to replace '--inspect' with '--inspect-brk'.

I can confirm that both issues exist. The linked webpage Debugging Node sometimes freezes for me on Microsoft Edge. Moreover, --inspect does not work while --inspect-brk does.

May I work on this issue? My proposed solution is to remove the link and migrate the instructions into the Lesson page. I would also appreciate further suggestions.

We would like to remove all references to debugging with Chrome in this entire lesson, because debugging in VS Code is sufficient and does not have any issues for learners.
