A tool for designers to measure screen dimensions
Dimensions: The Screen Measuring Tool For Designers
Dimensions is a powerful and easy-to-use Chrome extension designed specifically for designers. It allows users to measure distances and dimensions on their screens by simply moving the mouse pointer. This is especially useful for measuring the distances between various elements on a webpage, such as text, icons, buttons, and videos. With the help of simple keyboard shortcuts, users can start and stop measurements. Even to measure connected area dimensions, this tool is beneficial. It also supports PNG and JPEG mockups. Dimensions is open source, hosted on Github, and welcomes contributions from the developer community.

Extension summary
This extension measures the dimensions from your mouse pointer up/down and left/right until it hits a border. So if you want to measure distances between elements on a website this is perfect. It doesn't really work with images because there the colors change a lot pixel to pixel.
Images & HTML Elements
Measure between the following elements: images, input-fields, buttons, videos, gifs, text, icons. You can measure everything you see in the browser.
Mockups
Your designer handed you mockups as PNGs or JPEGs? Just drop them into Chrome, activate Dimensions and start measuring.

User reviews
This is so simple to use and makes it easy to measure exactly the thing you want. I tried Measuremate and Designer Tools, but they were buggy and confusing to use. (They make it hard to measure a particular thing; you just click randomly and pray. They also don't play nicely with the responsive view of dev tools.) Dimensions is perfect. Plus, this extension apparently doesn't collect or sell data. 5/5.
This is what i was looking for , it's a great product
