CSS Tree Inspector v1.6.0 makes JSON reports smaller and easier to navigate while improving cross-origin CSS coverage.

Highlights

  • Adds optional shared styleDefinitions for exact duplicate computed, state, and conditional CSS, reducing report size and token use.
  • Prioritizes text nodes and omits empty optional JSON fields.
  • Adds focused recovery for CSSOM-blocked stylesheet resources, including relevant inactive media queries, without host or debugger permissions.
  • Adds focused or complete HTML-attribute output options.
  • Adds concise report guidance, rounded dimensions, cleaner state metadata, and updated generator identification.
  • Improves the sidebar with grouped JSON options, clearer format descriptions, one-line selection details, and a processing overlay.
