What you say makes sense.

If the Chrome extension you are using only monitors the HTML as delivered from the server, then of course it couldn't see whatever JavaScript is dumping into that <span>.

If that's the case, I don't see how it makes any difference if you use Selector or RegExp: The extension simply wasn't designed to inspect the contents AFTER JavaScript has done its thing.

So you may have to change how the extension works.

I doubt that any of us can answer the question without actually installing the extension in question in our copy of Chrome and testing it out.
