clear javascript console in Google Chrome

by

Update: console.clear() is available in all browsers

Update: As of November 6, 2012, console.clear() is now available in Chrome Canary.

If you type clear() into the console it clears it.

I don’t think there is a way to programmatically do it, as it could be misused. (console is cleared by some web page, end user can’t access error information)

one possible workaround:

in the console type window.clear = clear, then you’ll be able to use clear in any script on your page.
