A very handy extensions that shows the SAML messages directly in the browser. It's my first go-to-tool in troubleshooting any Saml2 setup.

I love this extension. I've tried a few SAML chrome extensions, and this remains my favorite. Seeing all of the SAML requests in the context of all HTTP requests is a huge usability boost.
SAML option is not always displayed but if you do Google Search on SAML and then open up the Developer Tool, it will show up
