✨ The app is a lightweight add-on compatible with multiple browsers, designed to help you measure distances within webpages effortlessly. As you navigate through a webpage, simply hover your mouse, and voila!

🎨 Getting started with page online ruler is a breeze! Simply visit the webpage you wish to measure, then click the toolbar button to activate the add-on. Once activated, you'll notice a uniform grid (50x50 pixels) overlaying the page, accompanied by a handy info bar in the top-left corner labeled "Ruler Mode" (it is disabled by default since 25.04.2024). Need to disable the add-on or remove the grid? Just press the toolbar button again. While the add-on is active, freely move your mouse within the page to draw the rectangle. From there, you can easily read the dimensions in pixels, including width, height, start, and end points. Plus, if fine adjustments are needed, you can tweak the endpoint using the keyboard's arrow keys. 

🌟 Curious about diving into measuring page ruler's source code? You're in luck! Head over to the Chrome Web Store and grab the extension. With a simple click, you can download the source code in either ZIP or CRX format directly to your machine. And for Firefox users, don't fret! You can snag the source code by right-clicking on the "Add to Firefox" button and selecting "Save Link As..." Choose your destination folder, save the file as an XPI, then convert it to a RAR or ZIP format. While some extensions may have a GitHub repo, downloading from the official web stores ensures you always have the latest version.

🌐Though Page Online Ruler offers precise measurements, it currently lacks the option to move the rectangle once it's drawn. However, you can easily adjust its size using either the keyboard or mouse. As for settings or options, Page Ruler keeps it simple—there are none to adjust, providing a straightforward user experience. 

✨ And while Page Ruler is a handy tool, it's important to note that it only functions on webpages with content—no blank tabs, unfortunately! Should you need to revert a page to its original state, simply reload it. All changes made by the add-on will vanish upon reload, leaving your page as good as new.

I am happy to answer your questions 😉 Thanks for using!
