Does anyone know how to see what text is on the page with inspect element without being able to click on the text in a faster way than reading each line im on Mac.

Question

Twaylor · Answer

open Inspect Element (Right-click on the page and choose "Inspect" or press Cmd + Option + I).

in the Elements panel, click on the <body> tag or the top most container that holds the main content.

right click on that element and select "Edit as HTML."
when the HTML is in editable mode, press Cmd + A to select all the code, then Cmd + C to copy it.

paste (Cmd + V) the copied content into a text editor or a new tab in your browser to see all the text content in a more read able format.

Using Inspect Element to copy all text also copies all code... essentially using Inspect is not the way to go about this if you are trying to be efficient.

If a link had a time limit before it expired/disappeared, there is no recovering it.
