Description

@sandipchitale has written a really nice chrome app that has a very similar approach, but it's targeted at allowing you to define which devtools frontend you use. This also means people can write patches for DevTools frontend and you can easily try them out without them being upstreamed into Blink.

https://github.com/sandipchitale/DevToolsApp

I don't know if these two projects can merge, as they have slightly different usecases, but the "choose your own frontend" feature is very compelling to me.

Research direction

Start by comparing this project with Sandip Chitale's DevToolsApp at the linked Chrome Web Store and GitHub locations, focusing on the differing use cases and the proposed ability to choose a DevTools frontend. Done would require a decided integration direction, but the issue does not name files, tests, or an implementation scope.
