Fairly useful, but returns quite lengthy DOM element strings when an alternative shorter version is available in the dom. For example, for one element it gave me gtm.element.childNodes.3.childNodes.1.childNodes.3.childNodes.1.childNodes.1 When this alternative was available in the same datalayer and gave the same result gtm.element.parentNode.1

Great extension but had a little trouble with the instructions and kept missing a step. But Dan over at grueandbleen was quick to help. thanks again highly recommend this if you use GTM or any tag management system.

Awesome tool! dataLayer sifter makes it so easy to dynamically capture data that otherwise would be impossible (or very difficult) for analysts like me who do not use JS on a day to day basis. Definitely a life saver!
