The content of an <embed> tag is essentially locked Shadow DOM - it's a whole new document that Chrome can access but you can't.

It's easy to check what properties you can access:

var xObj = document.getElementById('xObj');

for (var p in xObj) {
  var value = null;
  try {
    value = xObj[p];
  } catch (err) {}

  if (value)
    console.log(p, value);
}
<embed id="xObj" src="http://stackoverflow.com"> </embed>

Your best bet to actually get the HTML is to load that content yourself:

var response = await fetch(document.getElementById('embedTag').src);
