TOMMY BUSSEY (ID: 000000ef222b6ac1) Voted 5 β˜… - Updated 11/18/2023 i have been looking for this exact web scraper functionality for awhile now and i have tested at least 10 other extensions none of which were what i needed nor were any of them accurately describing their app in the chrome store, this extension had a listing that actually held true and that is rare in this day and age, plus it's super easy to use and works exactly as i needed so thanks to the devs that built this and the UI folks too :)

Katie Claessens (ID: 00000006925131b5) Voted 3 β˜… - Updated 10/07/2023 It looks like an awesome free option. I had it scrape from a directory where a business name was listed on the top line, then the contact at that business, then the contact's title, then the street address, then the city, state and zip, then the phone number. Each business was listed in a box of its own, one record after the other, on a VERY long scrolling page. Unfortunately, the only things it could recognize separately was the business name at the top line and the line with the city, state and zip on it. I ended up just having it select each business's whole block of data and downloading that as one record in each cell in a CSV file and then used Excel's "Text To Columns" tool to separate the data. Fortunately, the data came with a backslash in between each of the lines of data so that made it easier. I tried the method their video shows you how to do where, if it's not accurate selecting the right set of data, you can change the coding in the top left corner but, I could not figure out which part of the code to delete. Too complicated. But, at least I was able to get my data off the site.
