[electron-chrome-extensions] chrome.tabs.onUpdated (and others) doesn't exist in devtools context

[Kilian]

When inspecting chrome.tabs in the devtools context, a lot of the functions support is claimed for are missing:

Is this by design, and is there a way to make them available from devtools extension panels as well?

Can you share an Electron Fiddle gist or steps describing how this context is being inspected?

The extension this was for has since updated to include a workaround, but I usually launch Electron with a remote debugging port, open the devtools for the specific webContents, then use chrome://inspect to inspect that devtools instance.
