About CSS-Highlight
CSS Highlight lets you find and highlight any element on a live page — by text content, attribute, CSS selector, class, or ID — without opening DevTools.
Perfect for developers verifying selectors, QA engineers checking data-testid attributes, and designers inspecting layouts.
What makes it useful:
Search by text content to find elements by what they say ("Submit", "Sign Up"). Search by attribute to locate [data-testid], [aria-label], or any custom attribute. Both are things DevTools makes clunky — CSS Highlight surfaces them in one click.
Features:
- Text content search — find elements by what they say, with case-sensitive and partial match options
- Attribute search — find by any attribute name or name + value pair
- CSS selector — full querySelector support for precise targeting
- Class and ID — quick lookups for the common cases
- Live updates — highlights re-apply automatically as the page changes, great for SPAs
- Multiple highlight styles — background, border, outline, underline, box shadow
- Adjustable color and opacity
- Search history — saved searches for quick re-use
- Keyboard shortcuts — re-run or clear highlights without opening the popup (Cmd+Shift+H / Cmd+Shift+X)
- Element details — tag, ID, class, and text preview for each match
- Copy results — export matched elements to clipboard
- 100% local — no data collection, no network requests
