Short and simple Chrome extension that reads the requests in a page looking for '.pdf'in URL or 'pdf' in MIME type, and then reads all the chunks and reassembles the file from the base64 provided by Chrome. Uses `Network.getResponseBody` to get the data - select a tab from the dropdown, go and reload the content (scroll all the way through if it's long), and it should find all the pieces, reassemble, and present them as a download.

Designed for getting a file out when you have to from a page that doesn't have a download button and has a CDN that you have to parse through all the chunks in order to acquire the file from raw requests.

EDIT - uses `chrome.debugger` API, so wont' work in Firefox without totally reworking it (but probably possible!)
