Difference between console.log() and console.debug()?

console, console.log, javascript, web-developer-toolbar

Solution

For at least IE, Firefox and Chrome consoles, .debug() is just an alias for .log() added for improved compatibility

Problem

Google has not been helpful for me, since searching for "console.debug" just brings up a bunch of pages that have the words "console" and "debug" on them. I'm wondering what the difference is between `console.log()` and `console.debug()`. Is there some way to use a bunch of `console.debug()` statements and then just flip a switch to easily shut off all debug statements from being sent to the console (like after launching a site)?
