The extension is great. But it would be even better if the dimensions of each box is shown on top of the boxes.

Works but if you aren't seeing the black bar at the bottom telling you what you're hovering on you have to inspect and under styles in the tools uncheck the visibility css attribute. For whatever reason it is defaulted to hidden. Very dumb.
