The "Element Browser" is a small pop up window with a list selector at the top where you choose what you want to review, for example: titles, subtitles, broken sentences, bad sentence ends, short paragraphs, empty paragraphs, pictures, etc.
In the body of the window there's a box that shows the results (one line per match). Clicking on a line takes you to it in the main window, so that you can fix the text, for example, merging a sentence that has incorrectly been split in two. You can also select multiple elements and convert them to something else (selected in the bottom list selector). For example, you can change several titles to subtitles, etc.
This is the most useful feature of Book Designer and the main reason why I still process my ebooks with it before loading them in Sigil.
I would like to see something like this implemented in Sigil, working in Code View. I would use the same window structure and the choices could be: headings, italics, bold, CSS class selectors, broken paragraphs, bad paragraph ends, empty paragraphs, pictures, tables, links.
Another useful thing would be to be able to move the inline styles created by Sigil (sgc-1, etc) to a CSS stylesheet.
