Access to Chrome Dev Tools in "New" Teams

Question

In the classic teams the chrome debug/devtools menu (with access to the console and network tab) similar to pressing F12 in the browser could be accessed with several left clicks followed by a right click on the system tray icon.

This does not work in "New" teams, how can the chrome debug/devtools menu be accessed in the new teams?
