Is there any browser extension or any other way to detect which javascript functions do I trigger by pressing a button or a link? I know the basics of JS but I need to find which function is called by one event, but I cannot find it in the .js file, because the guy who wrote it was a total madman and named every variable with a single letter, so I want to find the specific part, instead of going through the whole file.

1"total madman" -- are you sure you are not looking at a minified/uglified version of the code? – Jeremy Harris Feb 28 '20 at 20:09

Also, use Event Listener Breakpoints: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18877190/chrome-debugging-break-on-next-click-event – Jeremy Harris Feb 28 '20 at 20:09

You may use chrome dev tool and a breakpoint directly from that element.
Chrome Dev Tool:
