Created a new open source chrome extension. XPath Highlighter.
There are 3 main functions:
1) Paste xpath & have the element highlighted
2) Click any element to identify the xpath
3) Live path editor
Install from Chrome Store: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/xpath...
Loved that YouTube video. It’s a good show.
ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
[At the club] I checked the 12,888 dimension embedding model and it gave the cosine similarity of “me and you” a value of 0.98 wait come back
Recently, I thought, "Why am I creating so many Colab notebooks for things that could be Chrome extensions?"
Thus, I've published my first Chrome extension!

All it does it copy the text on the page. It also allows you to filter out certain HTML5 tags.
Ah, I wish I knew that was an option. While I’m primarily a SEO, a good chunk of my private consulting comes from my 20+ years as a web dev and WordPress is my specialty. So yeah, you could say i have stable in this too. I hope Matt gets what’s coming to him.
Nice! How’d you get that?
I didn’t scrape headings but that would be a smart V2 of this study.
Any SEO folks going to SMX Advanced next month?

LOL imagine if ordinary people just trying to live their lives, were tech savvy enough to install plug-ins.
Google AI Overviews is garbage.
Here's just the Chrome extensions I found in the first few minutes of looking.
I wonder how many more there are.

I don’t think you were necessarily wrong there either though. It sounded like it can be both depending on which side of the bed the algo woke up on.

Should’ve just stopped at knee pad. Let the imagination do the rest.
The limit logins isn’t by IP address but by username and it’s unlikely to figure out the password in 3-5 attempts.
I just remove the xmlrpc all together.
Brute force shouldn’t be happening in login pages. The login limits are set at default. However, brute forcing xmlrcp.php is still very possible.

What’s funny to me is the billlionaires can’t buy cool, they can’t buy smooth and they can’t buy likability. They will die rich with money and bankrupt of integrity, character and love. That makes me laugh.

In this one instance it is on other pages. Not the move I would’ve made but that’s their setup.
Indeed. In this instance it’s not a terrible user experience but it definitely has the potential to be.
I’ve just created a killer new way to automate blog auditing. Looking to pressure test this by having a few SEOs look at the results output.
Any takers to volunteer a website to test it on? Results will be emailed directly and not shared publicly nor stored online.
Has anyone seen fragment handles that link to child pages instead of the typical bookmark jump links?
What’s interesting is that this site I found it on has a table of contents but it links to separate pages instead of traditional jump links.
