How to properly develop / debug Chrome extensions

I've just started developing my first Chrome extension.

The tutorials describe this process as follows:

  • enter the code into the folder
  • download it to Chrome using settings | Extensions
  • run it and use Chrome devtools to set breakpoints.

However, this seems like a very tedious process. I use WebStorm and is much better off debugging from there and also setting breakpoints in WebStorm.

I'm pretty sure there should be an option and developers won't manually load the extension into chrome after every change.
