A very good extension. Useful for me as for a web developer. There is one important function missing I think - activate it by hotkey (changeable). So you press hotkey and ruler appears. Press second time - and it disappears.

Great, simple ruler -- just what I was looking for. One thing, I closed the bar at the bottom of the screen. How do I get it back? Thanks again for your work.

I recently came across the Better Ruler Chrome extension and I must say, it has been an incredibly helpful tool for my web development projects. This extension provides a simple and intuitive way to measure various elements on a webpage, making it easier than ever to ensure pixel-perfect precision.

Extensão muito top, prática e simples de usar. Só falta ter a opção de mudar de idioma. Um inglês já bastaria

これは、思っていた以上の性能。 所謂OCR系というんですかねぇ。 この手のフリーソフト(アドオン)は、沢山あるけど、大体1つの座標しかキャップチャー出来ない。 でも、コイツは、複数の座標をキャプチャーできる(しかも、キャプチャーしたままの状態を維持できる)。 これが無料で使えるなんて。凄い世の中になったものだなぁ・・・😮

Fantastic Ruler, sample and effective, makes crosshairs over full screen while moving the cursor. Also useful to scale points with axes on graphs.
