## Description

Select any element on a page with a visual picker, then copy its HTML or text content - with hidden elements filtered out and markup cleaned for pasting into LLMs like ChatGPT or Claude.
Features:
• Visual element picker (like uBlock Origin's)
• Interactive HTML tree - hover to highlight, click to drill down
• Auto-selects containing element if you have text selected
• Strips scripts, styles, SVGs, and hidden elements
• Two modes: clean HTML or plain text with proper spacing
• Parent button to navigate up the DOM
Perfect for grabbing article content, code snippets, or page sections without the clutter of dev tools.
