## Description

🧠 Overview
LocatorHub is a smart browser extension designed for QA engineers, testers, and developers to simplify web element inspection. With a single click, it identifies, analyzes, and generates the most reliable locators for use in Selenium, Playwright, and Cypress automation scripts.
No more manually searching through HTML or guessing selectors — LocatorHub automatically picks the best locator based on stability, accessibility, and attribute strength.

⚙️ Key Features
🔍 Auto Detect Locators: Instantly extract all possible locators for any element — ID, Name, CSS, XPath, Data-* attributes, and more.
🧩 Framework-Specific Output: Choose your preferred automation tool — Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress — and get the locator in ready-to-use syntax.
🧠 Smart Locator Ranking: Prioritizes stable attributes like data-cy, id, and aria-label over dynamic ones.
📋 One-Click Copy: Copy any locator format directly to clipboard.
🧭 Locator Preview: Highlights the element in real time to confirm accuracy.
⚡ Lightweight & Fast: Runs fully in-browser — no data stored, no external APIs.
🔐 Privacy Friendly: LocatorHub never collects or shares your browsing data.
