How do I undock the Chrome Developer Tools in Chrome? Pressing the left bottom corner just moves it to the right side.

Click the vertical ellipsis button ( ⋮ ) then choose the desired docking option. (the docking option with the red circle around it, is undock)

For older version of Chrome, press and hold the corner button

You can also undock/dock-to-left/dock-to-right/dock-to-bottom from the Command Menu. Press Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) or Cmd+Shift+P (Windows, Linux, Chrome OS) to open the Command Menu, then start typing bottom/left/right/undock.

undocking via command menu

Look for the "three-dot icon" at the corner of the developer tool panel, then you can find the toggle dock button.
