Web Design Pirate is a powerful Chrome DevTools extension tailored for web designers and developers seeking an efficient way to copy web components and HTML widgets. By selecting an HTML node, it extracts only the necessary CSS styles required to render the entire component subtree, ensuring a clean and optimized copy.

The extension also offers an option to reduce CSS complexity by allowing you to specify the level of inner HTML content to discard, making it easier to copy wrapper-style components with minimal styles. Accessible via a dedicated "Pirate" tab within Chrome DevTools, it automatically syncs with your selection in the usual Elements tab, providing a seamless experience. Web Design Pirate accelerates your design process by delivering fast, easy, and precise copying of website design parts.

User reviews

Web Design Pirate is praised by some users for its simplicity and helpfulness in copying styles and solving design issues quickly. However, multiple users report frequent technical problems, including errors, failure to display CSS, and inconsistent functionality across different sites or users. These issues often limit the extension's usefulness, leading some to consider it abandoned or unreliable. Version 1.3 seems to be a better release according to feedback, but overall stability and performance remain concerns based on user reviews.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Web Design Pirate requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
