One of the wonderful aspects of WebInspector is its use of 100% Web technology. I have leverage this aspect to embed WebInspector in a Web app and in a Chrome browser extension. I was able to hook the load sequence of the code to adapt the WebInspector to alternative backend connections (chrome.debugger API and WebSockets without using the built-in instance).

The only small problem I hit was in loading extensions: the postMessage system uses 'top' in two places, but when embedded the WebInspector will not be 'top'.  By replacing these uses with 'window.parent' the WebInspector is iframeable.
