Email Finder

Email Finder scans the page you're on and collects every email address it can find, so you can grab a contact address without hunting through a footer or a wall of text.

Finding Addresses

  1. Click the InspectDev icon to open the side panel
  2. Select Email Finder from the toolbar
  3. The tool scans the current page immediately and lists any addresses it finds
  4. Click an address to copy it to your clipboard

Addresses written as plain text on the page and those sitting inside mailto: links are both picked up.

When Nothing Is Found

If the page has no email addresses, the panel says so rather than showing an empty list:

No email addresses found on this page.

That's a normal result, not an error. Plenty of pages route contact through a form, load their footer after you scroll, or gate the address behind JavaScript. If you expected to find one:

  • Scroll the whole page once to trigger lazy-loaded sections, then rescan
  • Open the contact or about page and run the tool there
  • Check a mailto: link in the menu — those are often the only address on the site

Privacy

Scanning happens entirely in your browser against the page already loaded in your tab. No addresses are sent to a server, logged, or stored — the list disappears when you close the panel.

Tips

  • Use it on a team or about page to build a shortlist of contacts before an outreach batch
  • Obscured addresses — written as name [at] company [dot] com — won't be detected. Copy those by hand
