Comprehensive Tool for Element Inspection in Chrome
Pointer - Element Inspector for DevTools is a free Chrome add-on designed to enhance element inspection through a cursor-driven workflow. It allows users to visually highlight elements, take measurements, and integrates seamlessly with Chrome's DevTools for a more efficient development experience. Unlike the traditional DevTools inspector, Pointer remains active during element selection, making it easier to navigate the DOM without interruptions.
Key features include an always-on element selection mode, a visual box model display for margin and padding, and a built-in ruler for measuring distances. The tool also supports direct DOM manipulation, enabling users to cut, copy, paste, and duplicate elements with ease. Pro features such as an inline attribute editor and JavaScript console further enhance its functionality, making it a valuable addition for web developers.
