Browser Resize - Developer Tool for Chrome

'Browser Resize' is a Chrome extension designed for developers. It allows changing of the browser size with options to edit widths and maintain the popup open after resize. It is created to perform these functions in a straightforward and intuitively designed environment with nothing malicious in its code. The extension's source code is available on Github and Google offers ample documentation on creating your own window resizer. Major updates include added options for width setting adjustments and the maintenance of window position and height during resizing.

User reviews
Fantastically useful for anyone who needs to take consistently sized screen captures OR wrangle with a window manager that likes to resize things capriciously (Hi Monterey). Kinda wish you could set height too.

Very helpful for web developers. You can set whatever sizes you want, and it's very easy to use.
