I’ve used a few other visual scraping extensions in the past, and whenever I turn on their “element picker,” the target website’s layout completely breaks. Menus drop down weirdly, or buttons become unclickable because the extension’s highlight boxes mess up the site’s CSS.
Does RTILA have this issue?
We’ve felt that pain before! Older extensions usually wrap target elements in new
tags, which completely destroys the site’s native CSS grid or flexbox layouts.
RTILA X handles this completely differently. We inject a safe, isolated UI overlay. Our highlight boxes are absolutely positioned over the page and use pointer-events: none. This means they act like a ghost layer - they don’t alter the target site’s DOM structure at all, and your mouse clicks pass right through them to the actual website.
We also prefix all our injected CSS classes so they never collide with the target site’s stylesheets. You get a perfect visual picking experience without breaking the page.
