Is there a way to directly open Chrome's “dedicated devtools for node”?

I use FireFox for my daily browsing; so the process of getting a Node inspector running is somewhat annoying:

  1. Launch Chrome
  2. Manually visit chrome://inspect, because it refuses to set a builtin page as the ‘homepage’
  3. Click “Open dedicated DevTools for Node”
  4. Close the original window after the Node devtools opens

This dedicated tools window is the only Chrome window I ever use. Is there any way to launch it from the command-line, or when Chrome opens?

Thanks!


Solution 1:

Have Chrome's homepage set to this: chrome-devtools://devtools/bundled/node_app.html

When Chrome opens, the dedicated node Devtools will automatically be opened, but not as a pop-up.
