I would like to disable the highlighting of elements/its bounding box when I hover/mouse over an element in the Elements tab of the dev tools. On huge element trees (>3000 elements) the function is tremendously slow and resource consuming.

There's no such option.

Workaround 1: disable the extended tooltip in devtools options

enter image description here

Workaround 2: disable the overlay by running the following command in console of devtools-on-devtools, which will work only in current tab's devtools until devtools is closed

SDK.targetManager.models(SDK.OverlayModel)[0]._overlayAgent.highlightNode=async ()=>{}
