I've just learned something the hard way. There's stuff out there that spins
[`console.clear()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/console/clear_static)
and [`debugger`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/debugger)
in infinite loops. I don't know why that's a thing but I like to call it: clear
console log debugger abuse.

In Chrome/Chromium limit
[debuggers](https://devtoolstips.org/tips/en/disable-abusive-debugger-statement/)
and [logs](https://phuoc.ng/collection/tips/persist-console-logs-between-page-refreshes/).
In Firefox, [enable log persistence](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/settings/index.html#settings-common-preferences)/[timestamps](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/settings/index.html#web-console)
and [control breakpoints](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/debugger/how_to/disable_breakpoints/index.html)
manually.
