This may be a dupe of the question at [Google Chrome DevTools Extension - Detect Page Change](https://stackoverflow.com/q/29698988/6744657), but it's been sitting for over a year without a real answer, and maybe my question will provide some new insight into the problem.

I've written a Chrome Extension which inserts a sidebar panel into DevTools. The side panel lists the dataLayer events, a user can click on the desired event and then use the element picker to select another element on the page, and the plugin displays the path between the elements in dot notation. 

Here's the link to the Github project: <https://github.com/gruebleenagency/gtm-data-layer-sifter>

It works as I'd like it to normally, but if you navigate to another page, the sidebar is not initialized again, so it displays the info from the previous page.

You can see that I have this in my background.js file:

```
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function (tabId, changeInfo, tab) {
  if (changeInfo.status == 'complete') {
    reloadExtension();
  }
});

function reloadExtension() {
     // ???
}

```

I'm wondering if there's any way to make the sidebar reload at this point? Or am I going about this in the wrong way? I've spent a lot of time messing around with this trying to get it to work, but nothing seems to do the trick.

Thanks for any and all help.
