Real-Time Source Code Inspection β€’ Instant Source Exploration: Inspect any extension directly from the Chrome Web Store, by extension ID, or via local drag-and-drop (.crx or .zip). β€’ Full-Featured File Tree: Navigate directories, background scripts, content scripts, and HTML/CSS assets with Monaco-grade syntax highlighting. β€’ Deep Search & Regex: Filter and search across all files in the package instantly. β€’ Offline Export: Download clean, uncompressed ZIP archives for offline code review in VS Code or your favorite IDE. πŸ›‘οΈ 2.
