If you're trying to view a extension inspect your extensions mainfest.json like this too see your extensions local storage chrome-extension://<your_extension_id>/manifest.json

Outdated. Does not work for service workers nor for extensions that only store and read chrome extension data through content scripts. In fact, doesn't even seem to work on its own background page.
