I have Samsung Galaxy S3 and it was not showing in the "Remote devices" tab nor in chrome://inspect. The device did show in Windows's Device Manager as GT-I9300, though. What worked for me was:

1. Plug the mobile phone to the front USB port
2. On my phone, click the notification about successful connection
3. Make sure the connection type is Camera (PTP)
4. On my Windows machine, download installer from https://github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver
5. Run it :)
6. Open cmd.exe
7. cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\ClockworkMod\Universal Adb Driver"
8. adb devices
9. Open Chrome in both mobile phone and Windows machine
10. On Windows's machine navigate to chrome://inspect - there, after a while you should see the target phone :)

I'm not sure if it affected the whole flow somehow, but at some point I've installed, and later uninstalled the drivers from Samsung: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ > Mobile > Phones > Galaxy S > S III > Unlocked > http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/galaxy-s-iii-unlocked#downloads
