Doesn't seem to do anything. No additional tabs appear in the dev console. No errors in the logs. Just does nothing as far as I can see

This was a great find when developing my first extension. I was having a lot of trouble inspecting this data, but this extension made it super easy

Very nice. It would be nice if it also worked for extensions that are purely service workers too- at the moment your extension thinks it isn't on an extension page when you go to their inspect view, so it doesn't show the storage, even though the APIs are the same (so I assume it is just a problem in the way you check to see if it is an extension view or not).
