Review summary

Users appreciate the concept and basic functioning of the ruler add-on, finding it useful for measuring elements on webpages. However, many reviews criticize its poor readability, unclear units of measurement, and limited functionality such as lack of resizing, saving figures, and inadequate support for RTL sites. Improvement suggestions include adding hotkeys, better UI customization, and enhanced usability features.

Pros

Some users find the add-on useful for measuring screen elements.
The add-on functions as expected in general use.
Users appreciate the concept of having a ruler tool within the browser.

Cons

The add-on lacks clear units of measurement, causing confusion (px, cm, inch unclear).
Numbers displayed by the ruler are hard to read and positioned poorly, often obstructing the measurement area.
There is no ability to adjust or resize created measurement shapes after placement.
The add-on does not support RTL (right-to-left) websites properly.
Missing important features like hotkeys, ability to save predefined figures, or improve usability (e.g., turning off with Esc).
