Viewport Resizer - Responsive Design Testing Tool (maltewassermann.com)

I've used browser plugins for this for a decade already, for Firefox even before Chrome was written. I guess a bookmarklet is more accessible and easier to install, though. That said, if you really want to break new ground, The Android layout editor recently gained the ability to show multiple layouts of different size/orientation at once. It would be nice if someone made a browser equivalent. I.e. so you can easily tweak some HTML/CSS and see several different windows with different resolutions update instantly, preferably not having to go click refresh on all of them. Although monitoring file changes may require going back to more powerful technology, like plugins.


Or, use the Responsive Design View in Firefox

Would be nice if this worked with HTTPS, but otherwise it's pretty awesome.


This is really nice, good work! I think the print icon should be an actual printer rather than an ink droplet though.


This might be nice, but my personal opinion: whoever designs UI elements with dark grey text on black backgrounds is a absolute f'king moron. That shit needs to stop.


This seems like a pretty nice tool.
