Mike Cooper (ID: 000000acd0c18fe9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/25/2021 I have been using this at my work for several years. This is a great tool if you are doing ajax calls (or whatever) and the page changes but doesn't refresh updating the underlying source html code. Surprised it's not used more and better reviewed b/c it is a great tool. Maybe this can be done from the developer tools and that is why. Anyway highly recommend. If there is something better or a better easier way I'd love to hear about it.
