Moritz Köditz (ID: 000000d5b25f6103) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/24/2024 Great Extension. I've compared several responsive viewer and this one is by far the best. Great usability and tons of useful features. For me as an UX Designer it makes frontend testing much easier. It would be 5 stars if the screenshot feature would work. It only delivers blue screens :-( UPDATE: The newest Update is terrible. The usability is worse, all my settings are gone and also the banner with political statements is not appropriate for use in work context.
