## What’s New

We’ve launched the **Trackingplan Omnibug Extension** — a powerful new way to validate your analytics implementation in real time, directly from your browser.

This is a custom version of the popular [Omnibug](https://omnibug.io/) extension, enhanced with **Trackingplan integration** to automatically check each request against your defined tracking specs, so you can catch data issues on the spot before they impact your reports.

For a quick walkthrough on how it works and how to install it, [watch this video](/videos/debug-analytics-in-real-time-with-trackingplan-omnibug-extension).

### Built on Omnibug. Enhanced for You.

This extension builds on the excellent work of the [Omnibug project](https://github.com/MisterPhilip/omnibug/) — a huge thanks to the original creator and contributors. �

We’ve simply added Trackingplan intelligence on top to help our users troubleshoot faster and ship with confidence.

## Why It Matters

Troubleshooting tracking bugs shouldn’t be a guessing game. With this extension, you get:

-   ‍**Instant feedback** on spec compliance — see which events pass or fail in real time.
-   **Faster debugging** — no more digging through raw payloads or switching tools.
-   ‍**Peace of mind** — spot problems before they reach production or your dashboards.

Whether you're QAing a new feature, testing campaign tracking, or auditing analytics events, this tool makes your workflow smoother and your data more reliable.

## How It Works

Once installed, the extension runs in your browser and shows a real-time feed of all marketing and analytics requests. Each one is automatically validated against the specs you’ve defined in Trackingplan.

This makes it easy to identify missing or malformed parameters, misfires, and unapproved tools right as they happen.

## How to Get It

Because this is a custom fork of Omnibug, it’s not in the official browser stores — but you can **install it manually** in just a few minutes.

For step-by-step installation instructions with detailed installation instructions for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, [read the following documentation](/docs/trackingplan-omnibug-extension).

## Try it Now

If you’ve ever wished for an easier way to catch tracking issues early — this is it.

Whether you're a developer, analyst, QA engineer, or marketer, the **Trackingplan Omnibug Extension** gives you visibility, control, and peace of mind over your analytics setup.

[Download it now](/docs/trackingplan-omnibug-extension) and take real-time tracking validation to the next level.
