Lowell Kissling (ID: 000000f732e696d8) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/20/2022 This seems like a handy way for an Arc developer to get information for a page. It would be nice, though, if the JSON for things like globalContent was formatted and expandable/collapsible. Also would be nice if this extension was available for Firefox =)
