Chrome - Show currently selected element
There's no need to run a crazy jQuery selector to pull up an element in the Chrome console.
- Right click and inspect the element.
- Open the console tab. The selected element will be accessible as $0.
Chrome will remember the last 5 selected elements. They are accessible by using $0, $1, $2, $3, $4.

The website is part of the attack surface, not only the API behind it. Every script, iframe, and tag on a public page is code that did not go through the same review as the backend.
