Chrome Remote Debugging Console Not Working on Android 4.4.4

I've suddenly started having this problem when remote debugging a Zebra MC40 Android handheld scanner for a customer. I used Chrome thoroughly in the past to develop on this platform, and suddenly the console doesn't work, nor does the F5/refresh command. The console just shows a newline every time I press Enter. Last time I successfully used it was in January. Everything else I've tried works - source display, breakpoints, even the remote screen display. I've tried on 2 PCs with the latest version of ADB. The scanner is running Android 4.4.4.

Has anyone seen this, or does anyone have any ideas what to try next?

Thanks.

Based on other answers, I downloaded an older version of chromium, 70.0.3538.124, which is the most recent version of 70 I believe. Dev tools for Android 4.4 worked properly for me with this version.

Windows x64:

Linux x64:

Other:

You can follow the directions in this answer to download other versions.

I believe 71.0.3578.141 is the newest version of 71 if you wanted to try that. You can find other exact version numbers by ctrl+f'ing here.

Chrome 72 and greater seems to break debugging with Android 4.4.4. Using Chrome Portable 70 seems to solve the problem. Thanks to wOxxOm for the suggestion.
