Freeze UI feature request

Reported by remysh...@gmail.com, Nov 22 2017

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Goto twitter.com
2. Hover the like icon
3. Try to inspect the tooltip - it vanishes

What is the expected behavior?
Need a way to prevent it from vanishing

What went wrong?
Very hard to debug.

The current way is to open devtools source, hover the element, then use keyboard shortcuts to pause js execution, then move to sources panel to debug hovered element in its hovered state. (Hat tip to @PrashantPalikhe on twitter)

Did this work before? N/A

>> use keyboard shortcuts to pause js execution

this is pretty much what we suggest for use cases like this.

Any other solution would basically require a shortcut to freeze JS or disable input events. Pausing JS solves this and many other scenarios with subtle / dynamic content, so we stick to it...
