Reviews of chrome regex search:
fails at basic searches even without regex
I give it a 5 simply because it works! An invaluable tool I am surprised is not built into the browser itself.
Almost there, but not quite...! I think it works reasonably well, except when contents are loaded in dynamically. In scenarios where a lot of potential hits are loaded in via XHR (XMLHttpRequest), this extension failed to find the new matches. This basically breaks the extension for content loaded in on modern sites. Could you please update it so any actual search takes the actual state of the DOM into account? Thank you for everything so far
