Ryan M (ID: 000000629874c2df) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/05/2020 Doesn't work for chrome on my mac. In it's defense, no browser resize for chrome has worked yet.

Parker B (ID: 00000012d76b174e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/06/2019 Works great and easy. And you can set your own presets. I like how it only changes the width and leaves the height "as is" which is exactly what I want.
