For this and similar videos, the tool they're using in the bottom right corner of the window - what is that? Doesn't appear to be anything like that in the Chrome store.

You don't need to install anything (so it's technically not local), but once you've got it on your screen, you can open up your local file in a new tab (in the same window) with no problems. When you change the size of your local file window, you can see the size of the window just by tabbing over.
