This tool is pretty good, it supports me for a little!! I suggest this tool should have a customization for user. As our project're using a custom attribute like "testid", and I want the tool priority to generate xpath based on my config as: [testid, id, class, placeholder] in order for instance! Hope to see in the future!

There is a little problem with this extension. If I open it on, for example, Google's homepage, it will show all the Xpaths, but unfortunately with a useless //a[text="....."] format. The problem with this Xpath is that it is pointless to use it to automate because website link text (for example Google's homepage) change all the time, to it will make automating not working... Is is possible to force the extension to use a more classic approach (CSS, or better again tags)

Firstly very nice work done...It is really helpful I am writing below some points for improvements: 1. The xpath generated in some pages are somehow little clumsy.. It is difficult to identify which xpath is for which Element 2.Once if we have all the xpaths generated in one page and user is again clicking on AXG extension it is generating xpath again and it happens multiple time. Somehow we can deny to generate the xpath in one page if it is already generated for that page. 3. When we click on any xpath to copy it remain highlighted..It is confusing to say whether the xpath is copied or not if we again click on highlighted xpaths. We can give a text "copied to clipboard" and a copy icon beside xpath 4. There should be some options if we have copied the xpath we could remove it from the page. Sometimes we navigate to other pages and some xpath still remains in the some section of the page
