Hey, amazing work! Quick question. Does this work on v3 since there's a breaking change? See here: https://docs.snowplow.io/docs/collecting-data/collecting-from-own-applications/javascript-trackers/web-tracker/migration-guides/v2-to-v3-migration-guide

As a Snowplow co-founder I was a bit old school - bring up Developer tools and eyeball the Network requests tab directly. Hello tp2! But I was hugely missing out - the Snowplow Inspector is *excellent*, and once you start using it you can't go back. Big thanks to the Snowplow Australia team (formerly Poplin) for creating this!
