Since I had only one read-only account and the Fierit ECD system won’t sent me update notifications on that account, I have collected some links before actually doing deeper investigation to see how to build a push notification system around it.
Link dump:

[Wayback/Archive] Grant Gulovsen: “Someone recently posted a hot tip about adding “before:2023” to Google web searches and I forget who it was but wow what a huge difference it makes. So thank you to whoever that was. It gets rid of so much AI-generated SEO crap.” – Mastodon
The actual source seemed to be either of these:

[Wayback/Archive] Skip line while debugging in Chrome developer tools – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Matas Vaitkevicius for both asking and answering):
Last comment from dev says:We’re going to hold off on this feature for now. It’s complexity is high and it’s not common enough a workflow. One could also just comment out the lines and hit ctrl-s to get the same effect, pretty much. Status: WontFix –The workaround is to comment out the line you want to skip and press Ctrl+S.
The problem is that the workaround fails when you have used the Chrome Dev Tools to format the source code: then you cannot edit the formatted code.
The workaround for that is cumbersome, but doable as in this bug report:

With the ever changing Google Developer UI it is sometimes hard to track where things moved or what functionality is available.
I needed the “Network” tab to preserve the connections even after a redirect and this is indeed possible as per [Wayback/Archive] firebug – Google Developer Tools “Network” Tab clears after redirect – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Rodrigo Graça for asking and [Wayback/Archive] Snuffleupagus for answering):

In a game of Walls and Ladders (similar to Arms Race), the Ladders usually win, see the references at the end of the post.
The actual “game” in this case is more and more sites trying to build walls prevent pasting credential related information like user IDs (often e-mail addresses) or passwords often citing “more safety” or “less security risks”, and users get taller ladders wanting to do just that because of their own security concerns:
[Wayback/Archive] Stef 🎈 on Twitter: “Dear mobile/web-apps, please never never disable copy and paste “due to security reasons”. -everybody with a password manager.”
The walls will always loose so it is better to invest the money for the walls into other security measures.
Given that most of the risks are web-sites getting that information exfiltrated, I wish they put more energy into bolting down that side of the security risk side than the hampering legitimate users entering that information in the first place.
Since so many of these sites have leaked my information in the past, any email address I use for activating an account is like 50 characters long. Something I am not going to type once (because of typing mistakes) and definitely not twice (to confirm I did not make typing mistakes).
