Concern regarding unexpected browser behaviour and data privacy

I am a user of your extension and am reaching out to share some feedback regarding a recurring behavior I have noticed.

Recently, while using the SelectorsHub extension in Chrome, I have observed that my browser automatically opens a new tab to the following URL: https://bugasura.io/test-management?utm_source=selectorshub&utm_medium=ads&utm_campaign=test_management_launch

I noticed the URL contains UTM parameters identifying SelectorsHub as the source of this traffic. While I understand the need for product announcements, having a website open automatically without a manual click is unexpected behavior that feels intrusive.

More importantly, this behavior raises a significant concern regarding my privacy and trust in the extension. When an extension can trigger automated browser actions like this, it leads me to wonder:

What other background actions is the extension performing?

Is the extension collecting or transmitting any other browser information or user data without explicit consent?

I value the utility that SelectorsHub provides, but transparency and user control are my top priorities. Could you please clarify why this page is opening automatically and what steps you are taking to ensure user data remains private?

Support for Playwright-style chained locators (scoped element selection)

I’m using Playwright with a scoped locator pattern, where child elements are selected relative to a parent/root element rather than from the global DOM. Example pattern:

Define a root element (e.g., a modal container)

Locate inner elements relative to that root (title, close button, etc.)

Example:
this.modalRoot = page.locator('.modal');
this.title = this.modalRoot.locator('.modal-header-title');
this.closeButton = this.modalRoot.locator('.modal-header-close button');

This approach is core to Playwright best practices: it improves selector stability, reduces flakiness, and mirrors how components are actually structured.

Currently, SelectorsHub appears to generate or validate selectors only from the global DOM context. There doesn’t seem to be support for picking or representing elements that are scoped to an existing locator (i.e., chaining locators from an inner element).

Question:
Is there existing or planned support in SelectorsHub for Playwright-style chained locators / scoped selection (parent locator → child locator)?
If not, is this something on the roadmap?

This would be a high-impact feature for teams using component-based UIs and Playwright’s recommended locator patterns.

Tricentis page opened by itself

A sponsored link opened by itself, scaring me and making me think I had a virus. Apparently, this is the virus :)

THIS ADDON IS MALICIOUS

This extension keeps opening unwated links to some sketchy websites like this one https://www.tricentis.com/software-testing-tool-trial-demo?utm_source=selectorshub&utm_medium=affiliate&pap_aid=selectorshub. I will be reporting this to google.

Download the Selector Hub

Hi Sanjay, how do I download the extension as a file and add it to the browser later. I am trying to use it on a network that blocks call to everything but the inhouse applications. I tried downloading using few applications online but they all seem to be scams.

When I try to copy it doesn't work. I really don't know why and it's annoying.
