User reviews

Users generally find the CSS and XPath checker extension helpful and simple for validating XPaths, with particular usefulness in programming scenarios like XSLT. However, widespread issues include incompatibility with newer Chrome versions, lack of clear instructions, and UI limitations such as a small input field and inability to detach the window. Some users prefer built-in browser tools instead. Despite these drawbacks, many appreciate the tool's functionality and simplicity for quick XPath validation.
