I cannot find any documentation of the Designer Tools features for External Debugger and Copy Debug URL. Can someone show me where I would find an explanation of what these are and how to use them?
External debugger attempts to open (in the default web browser) a Chromium remote debugging session attached to the web browser that’s “embedded” in the designer. If your OS’s default browser isn’t Chromium based (ie, Firefox, Safari, etc) then this won’t work properly - so you can also Copy Debug Url and manually open a Chromium browser.
Once you do, you’ll get a window with the same dev tools you get in a “real” web browser (the ones you get via Ctrl Shift I/F12), which allows you to open a console, view page source, manually tweak CSS, etc. It’s generally only useful for our development use, but could occasionally be useful for designers, so we left the capability there.
When I select Copy Debug URL and then open Chrome, when I try to paste the URL nothing is there. It does not appear that the copy function works.

i got the same, found any solution?
Edit:
Seems when copying the url you gotta change all mentions of “localhost” to your loopback ip (127.0.0.1)
Well, something is diverting you to appspot.com, and your site security is blocking that. I'm not that familiar with Chrome's dev tools (I use Firefox), but that diversion seems wrong to me.
