Viewport Size addon/extension for Chrome. Any recs?

Hello everyone-

Been working on some projects and I'd like to stop using fixed breakpoints for media queries and build them in based on the content. In some of the early videos with Guil he had an addon or extension to chrome that showed the viewport size in pixels. I can't seem to find one. Do any of you have the name of that add-on or one that you use in your own work? Thanks!

I'm not quite sure about the addon, but if you go into the developer tools and click on the second icon at the top left of developer tools you will enter into "device mode". From there you can select, at the top, which device you want to show a preview of. To the right of that, you can also see the width and height in pixels.
