Is it possible to open the Chrome NodeJS debugger after running node --inspect-brk and going to chrome://inspect in a Tab instead of a standalone Window?

Open the chrome-devtools://devtools/bundled/inspector.html?experiments=true&v8only=true&ws=127.0.0.1:9229/043a8dfa-cd2b-4d41-82db-740a9d332499 URL in a Chrome tab.
The Inspector Help page links to a Chrome extension that purports to open this link automatically, but it didn't work for me.

On macOS you can execute the following (Provided you have
jqinstalled):open -a 'Microsoft Edge.app' "$( curl -sSf htt p://localhost:9229/json/list | jq -r '.[0].devtoolsFrontendUrl' )"You could changeMicrosoft Edge.appforChrome.appor another Chromium browser app Commented Oct 24, 2023 at 16:20
This extension worked for me
It supports opening in a tab and reconnecting automatically. It's add supported.
