This issue is opened on the Batarang Github here: https://github.com/angular/angularjs-batarang/issues/156

You can load the prior version of Batarang from this zip file: https://github.com/angular/angularjs-batarang/archive/v0.4.3.zip

1. Open More Tools->Extensions in Chrome
2. Locate AngularJS Batarang and click on the trash can to remove the extension
3. Download the .zip
4. Extract the file
5. Open More Tools->Extensions in Chrome
6. Check Developer Mode at the top
7. Click 'Load unpacked extension'
8. Select the directory where you extracted the zip
9. If you get an error about the manifest file, then you probably selected one directory level too high. Make sure that you select the bottom level angularjs-batarang-0.4.3 directory
10. Load up an AngularJS page and use Batarang again with Inspector just like before

This will restore the previous version which while having issues does have some mostly working features like Performance profiling, scope inspector, options, and a help tab which are gone from the latest version. The 0.7.1 version fixes the major breakage of apps, but it only provides the scope tree (no inspector) and the new angular-hint functionality.
