Fatih DEMİR (ID: 000000e552973d7c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/06/2024 It's an excellent plugin. Works perfectly. When I send emails to the developer, the developer responds quickly and provides solutions and releases new versions and updates. My only suggestion; It would be much better if it is added to Devtools. I'm glad I bought it.

Benjamin PERRY (ID: 000000e99995b7a9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/25/2023 Amazing, only 2 problems: 1) When you inspect element and activate the mobile view on Chrome CSS Scan doesn't work very well... 2) Why have an "inherited-style"? I don't understand the logic. It would be so much simpler to keep the name of the original class.

George Giraldo (ID: 00000097e8664565) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/15/2023 Works well.

Sam (ID: 000000e0a28cd5c4) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/20/2023 I've paid for it but I'm not satisfied with it as it copies so much unnecessary CSS that is not used for the element you copy. And even in HTML there's are so many classes. The naming convention for some classes is just so weird. It's almost like doing so much work to make something work. Sometimes this work maybe worth it but most of the time you'll feel like I should write this from scratch as so much cleanup is required even for very small elements because so much unnecessary CSS rules and properties are being copied most of the time. I'm really torn between do I see much value in it. I wonder if there's a refund option for this because so far I'm not much excited about using it.

James Ward (ID: 00000091ac765fee) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/30/2023 This is a paid extension so I havem't used and can't comment on how good it is or isn't but feel that it should be made clear you need to pay to use this ($90) however, you can use the inspect tool in chrome to get the same details for free
