Chrome Dev Tools Element Selector for Playwright and Scraping

In plain words

Chrome Dev Tools Element Selector for Playwright and Scraping is a tool that helps developers identify and select web page elements using Chrome's developer tools, designed for use with Playwright automation and web scraping projects. It streamlines the process of finding CSS selectors and element locators, making it easier to write and debug automation scripts. The tool is intended for developers and QA engineers who work with web testing frameworks and data extraction tasks.

  I created a browser automation tool2022 · rocketride.io · ▲176

  I created this tool a few months ago to automate some of my tasks. I use it to collect prices and files and to get notified when something changes on certain websites. The task runner uses Playwright. I'm not sure if it can be useful to anybody else besides me :) Any feedback is welcome.

  Selector ForgeJun 2026 · selectorforge.ai · ▲133

  Hi HN, I'm Ahmad from the Intuned (https://intunedhq.com) team. Today, we're releasing and open-sourcing Selector Forge (https://selectorforge.ai/), a browser extension that generates reliable CSS/XPath selectors using AI. You can use it to create a selector for a single element or for an array of elements. The selectors it creates are meant to be "semantic" and more resilient to page changes than what Chrome DevTool’s “Copy Selector” (and other similar extensions) give you. Those tend to hand you something brittle like `#top > div.w-100.ph0-l.ph3.ph4-m > h1 >…

  I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…
