josh wanner (ID: 000000c5fc21bbdf) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/15/2023 Was working great, no longer working now. Cannot find html for iframe anymore (it seems). Cntrl+F to find dimensions doesn't retrieve it though it will find the other text I search. I was using it to alter and save the Iframe of a Notion embed, today it stopped working. I can change it manually each time through inspect element but that's a pain. Any idea what's going on?

ñööß (ID: 000000a51818e2b1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/27/2021 This is absolutely AWESOME. Pretty much an alternative to the Inspect Element/Developer Tools, with some less features. This is perfect for when your inspect element/developer tools are blocked.
