User reviews

SelectorsHub is a powerful and advanced tool for automation testers and QA professionals to find selectors efficiently, praised for its time-saving capabilities and developer support. However, multiple users report intrusive behavior where the extension opens unsolicited advertisement or referral links in new tabs, which is highly disliked. Additionally, some users note browser slowdowns caused by the add-on. While generally helpful, the ad-related behavior and occasional compatibility issues lower the user experience.
Pros
  • Helps significantly in finding selectors and automating Selenium testing tasks, saving time and improving accuracy.
  • Useful extension for QA and testing professionals, especially automation testers.
  • Provides advanced functionality compared to similar tools like ChroPath.
  • Developer responsive to fixing compatibility issues (e.g., Firefox 113) and provides helpful tutorials and support.
Cons
  • Randomly opens new browser tabs with advertisements or referral links, which multiple users find intrusive and unacceptable.
  • May cause browser performance issues, with at least one user reporting it slows down the browser and removing it improved performance.
  • Some users perceive it as overly commercialized and adware-like due to unsolicited promotional content.
  • Compatibility issues with some Firefox versions (e.g., version 109) were reported, though fixes have been applied.

Ad-infested junk, motivated me to learn how to write selectors with the stock developer tools. Would leave zero stars if I could.
