Question/Suggestion: Access interface via extension icon

I've shared this tool with others recently and a few people have asked me how to access the controls...after they've tried clicking on the extension icon.

They didn't realize that you need to open Dev Tools and activate the CSS Features tab.

Would it be possible to improve the discoverability of this tool's interface by introducing one of the following interface updates:

  1. Clicking on the extension icon opens Dev Tools and activates the CSS Features tab. The options that are currently available in the menu that appears when clicking the icon could be moved to the CSS Features interface.

  2. Add an option to the current menu that opens Dev Tools and activates the CSS Features tab.

I'm not sure if either of these suggestions are possible 🤷‍♂️.

I like this idea but I'm not sure how much control is available from the extension icon menu. I'll have a look through the docs to see if there's an API method that would allow devtools to be opened with the CSS Features tab pre-selected.
