Freeze the DOM instantly
Freeze DOM - Instant DOM Freezing Tool
"Freeze DOM" is a browser extension that enables users to instantly freeze the Document Object Model (DOM) of a webpage, allowing for detailed inspection and snapshotting of in-progress states. Ideal for developers, it helps maintain UI elements that are only visible on hover and captures loading states. To use it, simply open the DevTools panel and select 'Freeze DOM' from the context menu or use the designated keyboard shortcuts. Explore more tools and support the developer on their GitHub page.
