Element Brief is a productivity extension for Chrome that simplifies the process of gathering information on web elements. It allows users to click on any element on a webpage and instantly copy a structured summary to the clipboard, making it ideal for test automation, AI-assisted coding, and accessibility audits. The tool prioritizes stable locators and provides insights into computed styles, colors, and font properties, ensuring developers have the necessary context at their fingertips.

Key features include smart locator generation, WCAG contrast calculations, and support for Shadow DOM. The extension operates entirely locally, without tracking or remote analytics, ensuring user privacy. With minimal permissions required, it only runs when invoked, making it a lightweight and efficient addition to any developer’s toolkit.
