I am not emulating mobile devices. How do I disable the Chrome DevTools device emulator?

Since recent updates, Chrome DevTools now shows a useful device emulator:

Which is great, but I'm not emulating anything:

  • All the options in Device are unticked
  • All the options in Media are unticked
  • All the options in Network are unselected
  • All the options in Sensors are unticked

Clicking the 'reset' button also still shows the emulation bar.

How can I turn Chrome DevTools device emulator off when I am not using it?


Solution 1:

Open Developer Tools and click the "phone" icon - upper left corner. This toggles the ruler on and off.
