xPath Finder

Plugin to get the elements xPath.

xPath Finder is a convenient Chrome extension designed to help you quickly obtain the xPath of any element on a webpage. Simply click the plugin icon to activate the crosshair cursor, hover over elements (which are highlighted for clarity), and click to view the element's xPath displayed in a panel at the bottom of the page.

The extension offers versatile options including turning the inspector on or off, enabling or disabling auto-copy to clipboard for effortless copying, selecting between short ID-based or regular xPath, and adjusting the position of the xPath display box for a customizable experience. This tool streamlines web development and debugging tasks by making element selection and xPath retrieval more intuitive and efficient.

User reviews

Users find the xPath Finder add-on generally useful and easy to use for obtaining XPath on many websites, with some calling it essential. However, common issues include needing to click elements and reload pages to get XPath rather than simply hovering, and a few report that the extension does not activate properly (no crosshair cursor). There are also user concerns about data collection practices and lack of clarity on what data is gathered.
