Generate CSS selectors from sample elements.
Helium Selectors Extension
If you visit a page after creating a CSS selector and turn on selection mode, all matching elements will be highlighted and will be able to keep adding sample elements if needed. The extension will remember all the sample elements, so visiting new pages will often update the CSS selector to prevent selecting elements that haven't been used as samples, as the extension will always try to be as specific as possible. So for instance when creating a selector for a next button, it's usually a good idea to visit at least a couple of pages where the next button is (and add more samples if needed), and also the last page in case there is a disabled next button, so that the algorithm updates the selector to not select the disabled next button.
