No. It is for both developers and testers. It saves a lot of time for developers while writing cssSelectors too. For ex- For long classes most of the time, developers has to replace all the spaces in the class with . dot which SelectorsHub does automatically.

Not one reason, there are many reasons which makes SelectorsHub the best xpath tool.

  • SelectorsHub is the only tool which made it possible to write own selectors in less than 5sec with it’s auto suggest feature.
  • SelectorsHub is the only tool which supports shadowDOM, in fact even Chrome DevTools doesn’t support shadowDOM.
  • SelectorsHub is the only tool which gives the proper error message for the missing elements in your selectors.

No absolutely, not.

No. First you will have to open the website then open the DevTools and then open SelectorsHub. It’s very simple and safe.

To make it safe and secure it will not interact and inject script in your website without your permission.

Some times people open DevTools first then they forgot and open a url where they don’t want a plugin to inject script so for that reason it only inject script when website is already opened.
