ResizeMyBrowser
- hnsmurf 15y agoMeizu m8? Seriously?
- pharno 15y agoreally helpfull for developement for mobiles. I used an iFrame until now. Thanks
- timclark 15y agoCan someone also create a "don't you dare resize my browser you darn pesky website" - although this deviant behaviour does seem to be a lot less prevalent than it once was.
- ilikepi 15y agoFor what it's worth, Firefox has a preference to disable that behavior.
- wccrawford 15y agoOn Chrome, the site said my browser doesn't allow changing the current window, so it popped up a new window of that size instead.
- eru 15y agoUnder XMonad, tiling windows won't be resized.
- keeperofdakeys 15y agoIn both awesome and xmonad mine was resized (firefox 4). Although in awesome I see the desktop over where the window used to be, in xmonad the (now inactive) part of the window stays exactly what it looked like before, but just static.
- eru 15y agoInteresting. It worked differently for me, but then, I was using Chrome.
- daleharvey 15y agoheh I miss this ever since web inspector and firebug pretty much replaced the web developers toolbar good job, thanks
- roundabout07 15y agoGreat idea! That is a very simple yet useful tool! Thanks for sharing.
- wccrawford 15y agoNice, but I can't help but think this would be better as a browser extension instead. That way you could use it on your own URL without going back and forth.
- talmand 15y agohttp://www.brianapps.net/sizer/ http://www.brianapps.net/sizer/ Although Sizer is more geared towards desktop monitor resolutions than mobile devices. Mobile devices tend to not have much chrome in place. You could use this for mobile but you would have to account for the chrome in settings the sizes.
- nhebb 15y agoJust an FYI - the Web Developer Toolbar extension for FF and Chrome has this built-in.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoAh, I didn't know this was available for Chrome - thank you!
- pitdesi 15y agoRelevant: http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/ http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/ Simple visual tool to show what percentage of web users can see different areas of your website without needing to scroll.
- perlgeek 15y agoI'm a bit disappointed, because it renders relative widths according to the current window width, which would be much smaller on smaller screens. Many of my webpages have something like width: 80% max-width: 80em or so for the main text. Which ensures that on a narrow window you still see a decent part of the main text, but on this test site it looks as though you only see the margin with a narrow browser window.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoSimple and pretty laggy for me on chrome - even moving the mouse seems to lag a little.
- sep 15y agoUnfortunately, it's not too useful for websites in right-to-left languages, like Persian, Arabic and Hebrew.
- sequoia 15y agoThis tool is misleading. It sizes the site according to your CURRENT browser size then lays the semi-transparent graphic over it. This means that if I have a 900px wide content area centered in the viewport, and my current width browser width is 1400px, it appears that there is 250px of empty background on the left and a 380px wide browser would see almost nothing. That's inaccurate. tl;dr: take this tool with a grain of salt, resizemybrowser is a much better method.
- powrtoch 15y agoDoesn't seem to work in Opera, and the attempt to open a new window just opens a new tab (which of course, is the same size as the rest of the tabs).
- pharno 15y agoworked for me (Opera too), it opened up a tab with the size I selected. Check your settings
- karl_nerd 15y agoIt's cool! One little thing, the iPhone 4 doesnt respond to neither css nor js resolution of 960*640, instead it has the same resolution as the 3GS but with -webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2
- cfq 15y agoMuch nicer alternative: http://browsersize.com/ http://browsersize.com/
- sad_hacker 15y ago+1 If resolution is bigger, makes a new window instead of warning.
- PetrolMan 15y agoMy only complaint is that on a dual monitor setup the maximum link centers the window in the middle of the two screens. Pretty slick either way.
- woodall 15y agoHere is the javascriptlet: javascript:window.resizeTo(400,400) I was able to crash FF 3.6.17 with javascript:window.resizeTo(999999999,999999999999). Just something I found interesting.
- malux85 15y agoCool utility - one minor change that I would use ... put in an INPUT box, so that I can paste a URL in there ... then when I click on each size, open the tab and point it to that URL, then I can quickly see my site in all of the different sizes. Well done, quite sexy :) A
- drp 15y agohttp://www.simures.com http://www.simures.com does a lot of the things being requested -- input boxes for resizing, url passed as part of the url for easy access, doesn't resize your actual browser, etc. http://www.simures.com/800x600/news.ycombinator.com http://www.simures.com/800x600/news.ycombinator.com is a good example.
- yakto 15y agoNice try, Meizu marketer. :) On a serious note, my MacBook Air 13 is 1440 x 900 - not 1280 x 800.
- mgcross 15y agoI guess that's the '08 MBA? My 11 is 1366 by 768.
- ck2 15y agoOn Firefox (and now Chrome apparently) web developer plugin. http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/ http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/ Tools -> Web Developer -> Resize
- mgcross 15y agoThe neat thing about using the link is that I can send it to non-techs for previewing websites in different resolutions.
- wazoox 15y agoUnfortunately less complete, because it resizes the browser window globally (outer size here). With tree-style tabs it doesn't match what many will see.
- pasbesoin 15y agoNo, actually the web developer extension allows either the entire window or the portal (page display) dimensions to be specified.
- tnorthcutt 15y agoIn what browser? For Chrome, it appears to resize the outer window, not the viewport.
- pasbesoin 15y agoFirefox. I guess I never used that feature in Chrome... I see, now. The Chrome version will report the viewport size but does not appear to offer the ability to set it. Sorry, I was not entirely right.
- Silhouette 15y agoThe Web Developer extension for Firefox asks for width x height dimensions plus an extra "viewport" checkbox, anywhere you specify the size.
- p_monk 15y agoI've made myself bookmarketlets that do this for iPhone/iPad sizes. IMO, you ought to be able to drag the different screen sizes onto your bookmarks bar.
- pkrumins 15y agoAlso try http://browserling.com http://browserling.com. You can click the screen icon in the sidebar to change the resolutions.
- alphakappa 15y agoJust want to nitpick that it's the iPhone 4, not 4G. It may be the fourth generation, but it's not a 4G phone.
- iaskwhy 15y agoIt's not even the fourth generation! So: iPhone, iPhone 3G (second generation) + 3GS, iPhone 4 (third generation). I really don't like when people say 4G because it's twice wrong but it's hard to blame those who do it.
- paisleyrob 15y agoExcept most people think: iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4. There's an argument to be made that the iPhone 4 is the 4th generation of iPhones.
- iaskwhy 15y agoI guess we will find out how this works with the next release which some informed people say it's going to be called 4S...

- thewisedude 15y agoIf you go to this link in Chrome, you cannot resize the current browser window, so a new window is opened. However you cannot change the URL of this new window to see how your website does with the set resolution. So work needs to be done there.
- jrockway 15y agoDoesn't work. My window manager manages my windows; they don't self-manage.
- ars 15y agoNote that you will need to turn off dom.disable_window_move_resize in firefox for this to work, otherwise resize does nothing.
