Cannot debug in Chrome 80 Inspectable web elements not available

Several developers have complained that Chrome 80 breaks debugging for CEP panels, with errors like "document.registerElement is not a function". If you are facing this problem, try @justin2taylor's suggestion:

 

Use the CEF Client provided with each CEP Version on the Github. For CEP 9, use this one:  https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/tree/master/CEP_9.x

    Another workaround is to use: "chrome://inspect/#devices" which will bypass the code that results in the "document.registerElement is not a function" error, and then everything works just like it did before in Chrome.  The steps are:


    a. Navigate to chrome://inspect/#devices

    ​

    b. Ensure 'Discover network targets' is checked

     

    c. Click 'Configure' by 'Discover network targets'

     

    d. Add 'localhost:7777' to the list of targets

     

    e. Wait for a target to appear and click 'inspect'

      I found a workaround for debugging PS CEP panles which may help.

       

      Download "Cefclient" from:

      https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/tree/master/CEP_9.x 

       

      then extract and run:

      ...\Cefclient_Win64\cef_binary_3.3239.1723.g071d1c1_windows64_client\Release\cefclient.exe

       

      It will open a browser like windows were you should paste your locahostIP

      Isn't this the same solution as described in the original post?
