This let me recover data from an unresponsive Chrome window! I was saving a piano improvisation — work that I surely couldn't reproduce — when the modal save dialog froze up the window due to some Chrome bug. I could tell that the tab was still alive because it would respond to resizing the window, but I couldn't interact with the window beyond moving/resizing it — no clicks or keyboard input would do anything, including shortcuts. I tried xdotool (a desktop automation tool), I tried puppeteer (a browser automation tool), nothing worked. Eventually I realized I could open a new window from the command line. I tried using chrome://inspect#pages, but when clicking inspect, it opened the devtools docked to the window that I couldn't interact with! Luckily I remembered this extension, installed it, and blam! Not only did I recover my data, but I recovered my tabs completely.
