Toggling the DOM Mutation button on the console toolbar is an all-or-nothing action that starts up a dozen or so event listeners. It would be nice to better control these listeners both for perf reasons and to communicate tot he user what is being listened for, and what it means.

Summary: UI mockups for DOM Mutation event toggling in Console toolbar → Mutation observers in the console
is this something we want to have? It's been awhile and nobody's asked for this feature. We have a new MutationObserver API that might make this more pleasant.

This could be a nice feature - to have a log of mutations in the document. One thing worries me: having too much output in the console. Still, given we'd make mutation logging off by default ... I'm not sure if it would be too bad. Thoughts?
