gRPC-Web Developer Tools - Debug gRPC Requests

"gRPC-Web Developer Tools" is a Chrome DevTools extension designed for debugging gRPC-Web requests in web applications. It allows developers to inspect gRPC network logs in a new dedicated tab, presenting the deserialized JSON objects instead of base64 encoded binary data. Users can view request, response, and error details from their gRPC server. Some setup is necessary to utilize the extension, detailed in the GitHub README. This tool simplifies the gRPC-Web debugging process, making it more accessible for developers.

The best tool I have ever used. I hope it will have helped me get negative Sparx Maths XP. :D

The README is not really clear at all. Points: 1. Prop window.__GRPCWEB_DEVTOOLS__ is not defined. There I expect, that I should install something somewhere in my project. Where? 2. Installations through webstore are pretty clear. But the manual installations are mess. For which system are the steps supposed? Linux? 3. If the installation steps are supposed to make it work with your project, so why it is necessary to install it only through Linux. I have nothing against Linux, but I don't see helpful to switch between OSs because of one devtool.
