Is it possible to use Firebase Analytics Debug View on the web? If so, how? The web is not documented, but also not specifically excluded.

Did you try it? Is something not working the way you expect? If the console isn't working the way you expect, please contact Firebase support directly. support.google.com/firebase/contact/support - Doug Stevenson

I quickly browsed through the documentation guide, and reference docs and indeed don't see any way to enable debug mode for a web client. You might want to file a feature request.

Update (20191008): the functionality to have debug mode in web clients does exist, but there is no public API yet. I will update here when a public API to enable debug mode is available.

Update (20200210): the best I've found so far is to use the Google Analytics Debugger Chrome extension.

I tried successfully to Debug by using instructions (for Web) at https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/debugview?authuser=0#enabling_debug_mode.

After installing Google Analytics Debugger, there appears an icon of this extension, next to address bar. This icon helps on enable the extension for the page.
