HTML DOM Navigation

HTML DOM Navigation lets you view the node tree in a simple and easy way. IRB would be really useful for Watir automation.

Also, it allows you to view tree formats of entire body tags through context menus. The extension ensures data privacy as it doesn't store any user data.

if you're applying this extension on a "fake" web of your own, which is from your computer file source, you have to right click on the extension symbol, then go to manage extensions, then turn on the Allow access to file URLs. then it works.
