What is a browser console and what are its uses?

[Fergal]

What browser are you using @raaman? You can view the Chrome browser console by clicking the F12 button on your keyboard to open Developer Tools. Once in Developer Tools, click on the "Console" tab to open the browser console. If you are learning JavaScript for example, you can use that console to type in your JavaScript code and run it in the browser. This is a good way for beginners to start using JavaScript, before they learn to embed it in websites.

Console is mostly used for running javascript, checking page errors, validation and other development use. Not meant for the casual public.
