Simple Data Layer Viewer Extension

*This extension has no hidden agenda. It does not collect or send any data. It does not communicate to external servers. It simply displays Data Layers.*

This simple plugin helps you to view the data layers of a website. It displays found data layers on click in a popup window or you can use the dedicated panel in the developer tools, which will automatically refresh upon data layer changes.

By default, the extensions searches for the most common data layer names such as 'dataLayer', 'digitalData', 'utag.data' etc. These names can be customized together with some appearance settings.

I hope it helps you in the daily work as it helps me.
