Debugger docs: the expired parts ⚰🧹 #54078

Affected URL(s)

Description of the problem

As of this writing, the final two sentences of the final subsection of the Debugger docs consist of the following two statements:

  1. Chrome DevTools doesn't support debugging worker threads yet.
    • Good intentions notwithstanding, time phrases tied to the present (e.g: "yet") age like milk.
    • Even if the date of writing was known, the assertion itself remains unsourced.
      • This unfortunate omission only makes the immediate next step (of Googling about to try and figure out if the purported lack of support is still the case) that much harder.
  2. ndb can be used to debug them.

How to fix (🤷‍♂️)

Deleting the final two sentences could perhaps be enough?

On a side note: making the reader aware of the existence of v8.dev (which covers many advanced use cases) could perhaps be of partial service to the goal of documenting the aforementioned advanced use cases. 💡
