A tool to detect which DOM element causes a horizontal scroll
Overflow-detector: Chrome Extension for Detecting Horizontal Scroll
'Overflow-detector' is a convenient Chrome extension developed for web developers. It detects the DOM element that may cause a horizontal scrolling issue in a webpage layout. The tool iterates through all HTML DOM elements, comparing their width with their parent's. If an element exceeds its parent's width, it is typically responsible for the horizontal scroll to the parent, including page-level scroll when HTML stack is improperly ordered. The extension simplifies the troubleshooting process for developers who otherwise have to manually inspect each DOM element.

User reviews
Thanks for the plugin. The only thing I don't like is the fact, that the site is scrolling down instead to the first or last element that causes the issue.
