Finding patterns

Look for patterns inside HTML, JS, CSS and AJAX code
What is Finding patterns?
'Finding Patterns' is a Chrome extension designed to make searching for bugs easier on your website. It works by detecting patterns inside your HTML, Javascript, CSS, and AJAX code. This can be particularly useful when your webpage uses tags such as #LIST_OF_PRODUCTS#, and these tags are sometimes hidden in a link title, JS, CSS, or AJAX code. The 'Finding Patterns' extension will quickly locate all of these for you. It also allows you to input your own regular expressions, enabling you to find any pattern you need on your webpage.

User reviews

Would be nice if you didn't have to go to the options page if you only want a temporary regex, bur I can see where that might not be possible. Also, as I just found out, be sure to deactivate it before you get to Youtube (unless you only want to watch ads).

I have no idea how to activate this as there is no tutorial.
