Solution 1 - Reset Chrome's Flags

On chrome://flags press the Reset All button.

Solution 2 - Modify Chrome's Policies

On chrome://policy we can see Chrome's current policies.

If DeveloperToolsDisabled is set to true, quit Chrome and open Terminal, set:

defaults write com.google.Chrome DeveloperToolsDisabled -bool false

If DeveloperToolsAvailability is set to 2, quit Chrome and open Terminal, set:

defaults write com.google.Chrome DeveloperToolsAvailability -int 0

Note: if you get an error message saying your browser is managed, then it means you are a part of an organization, and only your organization's IT person can help you.
