Grrrid is a Chrome extension designed to act as a simple, easily adjustable grid system overlay plugin. Users have the options to modify number of columns, their width, gutter width, alignment and control opacity level. The extension retains your setting, eliminating the need for repeated modifications. Grrrid is also equipped with a 'common grid' preset selector that simplifies the selection of popular grid frameworks like 960.gs, 978.gs, and Twitter Bootstrap.

User reviews

As has been mentioned elsewhere, this plugin is using a Javascript file to inject Google Analytics tracking code and tags into every single page you load, including private and/or secure pages. Their Google Analytics tracking ID is UA-34891288-1 and I have reported this as suspicious or potentially dangerous behavior. The developer should be held to account, this sort of invasion of privacy is abhorrent and they are violating the trust of their users. Anyone reading this who has installed this plugin should immediately report this developer to Google and uninstall the extension immediately.
