xPath Finder is a user-friendly Chrome extension designed to help developers and testers quickly locate and copy the XPath of any web page element. Simply activate the plugin to change your cursor into a crosshair, hover over elements to highlight them, and click to display their XPath in a panel at the bottom of the page.

The extension offers several convenient options including toggling the inspector on or off, auto-copying XPath to the clipboard, selecting between short ID-based or full XPath expressions, and adjusting the position of the XPath display box. This makes xPath Finder an essential tool for web developers and QA professionals aiming to streamline their workflow and improve productivity.

User reviews

Users find the xPath Finder add-on generally useful and easy to use for obtaining XPath on many websites, with some calling it essential. However, common issues include needing to click elements and reload pages to get XPath rather than simply hovering, and a few report that the extension does not activate properly (no crosshair cursor). There are also user concerns about data collection practices and lack of clarity on what data is gathered.

Pros

Easy to install and use for obtaining XPath.
Works on most websites effectively.
Highly appreciated and considered essential by some users.
Provides a useful functionality for web element inspection.

Cons

Requires clicking on an element and reloading the page to get XPath, instead of just hovering or shift+hover.
Some users report that the expected crosshair cursor for selecting elements does not appear, rendering it non-functional.
Unclear or concerning data collection practices, with questions about what user data is collected.

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.

xPath Finder requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

xPath Finder has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
