Summary

There are 2 ways to find elements using the panel:

  • By using computed style queries.
  • Or by using CSS selectors.

Using computed style queries

This is the main feature of this extension. It is very useful for finding elements on a page that have certain CSS computed styles.

You can also use a couple of operators to make searching more useful:
