Open Chrome NodeJS Debugger in a Tab instead of a New window

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?

This extension worked for me

enter image description here

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nodejs-v8-inspector-manag/gnhhdgbaldcilmgcpfddgdbkhjohddkj/related?hl=en

It supports opening in a tab and reconnecting automatically. It's add supported.

~$ curl http://localhost:9229/json/list

} ]

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.
