However, if Chrome is already started, a debugging port can't be opened for any new or existing Chrome instance that has the same user data. That happens because WebStorm uses Chrome Debugging Protocol and runs Chrome with the -remote-debugging-port option. As a result, the window looks unusual, for example, your bookmarks, the browser history, and the extensions are missing, which altogether breaks your development experience. You may notice that your debugging session starts in a new window with a custom Chrome user data instead of your default one.
