How to know the correct selector/group of selector for any html element quickly? I’m working on very long bloated html code. and want to apply css on some specfic areas but it’s taking to so much time to find a right css selector for any deeply nested html tag in tables.

#id1 #id2 .class1 .class2 table.no1 tbody td

Is there any quick way or tool to know perfect css selector for any needed elemnt quickly?

I also need to override some css on some elements?
