It's being really hard to debug. When I access through chrome-extension://, sweet, all works as a normal HTML page, and I can debug using console.log().
However, when trying to achieve the same using it as a browser action, console.log() also doesn't work. The exact same code, simply won't print anything in the console. I tried to cause a forced refresh using window.location, location.reload(),window.refresh and others, but no luck. Guess it's better wait for it to be more mature, and support those functionalities.
