title: Cannot execute Javascript from Chrome console
body: <p>In the past it has been possible to write JS in the Chrome console (and is still possible on Firefox).  However for the last month or so this hasn't worked, anything I type in there is silently accepted with no obvious impact, functions I call are clearly not run, etc.  See this screenshot where even a direct console.log() fails to produce output: </p>

  <p>I can't find any documentation indicating the feature was removed nor can I find any obvious causes for why this isn't working anymore.  This is happening in Chrome 52.</p>
