Chrome Viewport Tools

I wanted to share this for those who may not have seen it before.

I was doing this lesson and wanted to find a tool that would work well for testing viewport sizes and recognize my browser as a smaller device.

Chrome now has a nifty tool built in to do just this using the Developer Tools.

This link explains how to access this: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/chrome-viewport/

I also found this nifty little Chrome extension that works pretty well, too, though it's limited to using a URL so you can't adjust local files unless you're running them from your own server.

Thanks for the heads up Chris!

Another similar tool I use in Chrome for testing responsiveness is "Window Resizer". Download it here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/window-resizer/kkelicaakdanhinjdeammmilcgefonfh

Nice. I think that's what Guil uses on this exercise, too.
