title: chrome inspector, remote debugging no longer works properly on my mobile app
body: <p>I have built a progressive web app using Cordova/Ionic.  I have been using dev-tools to troubleshoot and analyze my apps inner workings for the better part of 3 years now.  In the last few weeks however, i think since Chrome updated to v70+, dev-tools can no longer properly connect and/or manage the app running on my external device (several different test phones).</p>
  
  <p>I have 4 Android test phones, and the same or almost the same issues are happening with dev-tools when connected to each device.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ol>
    <li><p>desktop keyboard and mouse do not work anymore - I can't use either to interact with the app on the phone anymore.  As well, on some
    phones I can't use the element inspector (while on others that does
    work).  But regardless of phone, I can't use the desktop mouse to
    click on app buttons in the web-view.  Keyboard does not work on any
    of the devices either.</p></li>
    <li><p>Often, even the native buttons in the app (directly on the phone) won't work if dev-tools has been opened to look at the app.  If they
    do work, you press the button and like 10-15 seconds later the app
    finally responds.</p></li>
    <li><p>When dev-tools is opened and connected to the device app, the response time of the apps is now extremely slow as well.  Sometimes
    the app just crashes or I get messages saying "app not responding,
    wait or close?"</p></li>
    <li><p>If I disconnect the phones from the desktop, and/or don't run dev-tools on the app, the app works and responds just fine.  Something
    specific to dev-tools is causing all these problems.</p></li>
    </ol>

  <p>The different phones have versions 5.1, 6.1.1 and 7.1 running on them for testing purposes.  Again, dev-tools worked just fine until a few weeks ago.  I recall various small issues impacting performance and web-view rendering in dev-tools, and now all of the above is impacting my ability to troubleshoot and analyze my app (developing).</p>
  
  <pre><code>My environment:
  
  Cordova CLI: 8.0.0
  cordova-android: 7.1.1
  Gulp version:  CLI version 3.9.1
  Gulp local:
  Ionic Version: 1.3.4
  Ionic CLI Version: 1.7.14

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't be certain, but I think all these issues began with Chrome updated itself to v70.+  On a side note, my app uses the "webview-plus" plugin....its an older plugin that enables certain inspection features and UI rendering.  I removed it to see if maybe it was conflicting with dev-tools, but all the same problems still persisted.</p>
