Detect Zero-Width Characters

Detects zero-width characters, highlights the characters and containing DOM element, and allows sanitization and copying of text.

The "Detect Zero-Width Characters" Chrome extension helps users identify hidden zero-width characters embedded within webpage text. It highlights these invisible characters along with the containing DOM elements, providing a clear visual indication of their presence. A warning is displayed at the bottom-right of each affected element, alerting users to potential hidden content.

Users can easily select any text containing zero-width characters, right-click, and choose to sanitize and copy clean text free from hidden characters. This extension is ideal for developers, writers, and anyone who wants to ensure their text content is free from invisible, zero-width characters that may affect text processing, copying, or display.
