"Node instance available" link no longer displays in sources tab for Node.js webapps.

Reported by ian.hend...@mlb.com, Feb 21 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3017.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Start a Node.js app locally w/ "--inspect" flag.
2. Inspect the served page in Chrome
3. Open "Sources" tab -- note that "Node instances available. Connect" entry doesn't display.

What is the expected behavior?
Link that opens integrated debugger for Node apps ought to appear.

What went wrong?
I know that this was a recent feature addition, and perhaps only experimental and thus subject to removal, but I develop Node apps often and the link to open the debugger was quite handy. 

I can still copy paste the URL from the terminal (chrome-devtools://devtools/....) into a window and get the debugger as well, but it's slightly annoying since restarting the app disconnects the debugger as well.

Did this work before? Yes 

Chrome version: 58.0.3017.0  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.11.5
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 25.0 r0

There was a concise screencast showing exactly what this feature was on this blog here:

Eugene, could you please take a look?
I still see the link. Can you try "chrome://inspect" page to see if the Chrome is able to discover the Node?
Hi there,

I'm not sure how (or from when) it happened, but I can see the link again now as well! Perhaps some sort of conflict w/ installed extensions or something.

Thank you for investigating it anyhow. =)
