A Chrome extension with debugger permissions required to get access to the debugger API without starting chrome with specific flag. The chrome extension can then connect to a local node server over WS/socket.io and forward the messages over a real WS server, which any regular CDP client can connect to. This way it's fully transparent to clients.

Chrome extension

-> Polling every 1000ms for ex http://localhost:9333 -> Connection -> -> Start WS server -> on Browser.getTargets command -> Debugger.getTargets -> on Browser.attach command -> Debugger.attach -> Debugger.onMessage -> send back over WS and reverse.

Node server:

Exposes WS and HTTP endpoint.
