heck yeah, this is perfect. great tool for understanding how a website works when used in tandem with the consol and networks tab in inspect element; helps with weeding out the stuff that isnt relevant or inhibiting to my experience on the sites i frequent. im not experienced with any web development or programming, but the extension UI was approachable enough for me to get the gist of it and learn on the fly (with the help of online forums, google, and the developer tools aka inspect element). godsend extension
