Review Summary
Users find Testing Playground to be a very helpful and valuable extension for element selection and testing, especially when working with Testing Library or Playwright. However, multiple users report functionality problems such as the extension not working or breaking certain websites. Selectors generated can be limited, and the extension has not seen updates for years. Workarounds like disabling ad blockers or clearing browser data help some users. Despite these issues, the tool remains appreciated for easing testing workflows.
