Use please:

var mainWindow = Electron.WindowManager.BrowserWindows.First(); mainWindow.WebContents.OpenDevTools();

@GregorBiswanger According to the Electron docs there is a way to expose the ability to load a browser extension into the electron browser window via addDevToolsExtension referenced here:

https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/devtools-extension

@PeachT was referencing this to be able to load up a supported Dev Tool Extension. Not opening the Dev Tools themselves.

Any way to expose that method to Electron.Net on the BrowserWindow?

@GregorBiswanger Maybe a little off topic, but do you have any plan to support to load WebExtensions through ElectronNET ? As it seem to be supported according to the official doc:

https://electronjs.org/docs/api/browser-window#browserwindowaddextensionpath

Thanks !
