Yank It

A small Chrome & Firefox extension to copy the path to a DOM element. For example:

[Page] section.page > div.taskList > [Task] div.taskRow > p.taskSummary

Useful for pasting to an LLM.

Install

Chrome

1. Open chrome://extensions
2. Enable Developer mode
3. Click Load unpacked
4. Select the project directory

Ignore the warning about background.scripts; this is referenced in the manifest to support Firefox.

Firefox

1. Open about:debugging
2. Click This Firefox
3. Click Load Temporary Add-on...
4. Select manifest.json

How to use

1. Click the extension icon → hover over elements
2. Click an element → path copied to clipboard

Security

IMO, Chrome extensions are a security nightmare. This extension's code is very small, in pure JS and with no dependencies. You can easily verify the code.
