Review Summary

Users appreciate that Liner keeps lines visible after page reloads and find it a handy tool for alignment tasks. It works across various pages and some Chromium-based browsers. However, many users report the extension often does not work, especially on mobile or in device emulation modes. Some experience issues with guidelines sticking and difficulty moving them. Requests for additional features like central guide lines suggest room for improvement. Compatibility with some browser versions is also a concern.

Pros

  • Lines remain visible even after reloading the page, enhancing usability.
  • Works well on various pages and open images, except some specific tabs.
  • Helpful for ensuring alignment and positioning, especially useful for measuring 'straight' placement.
  • Compatible with browsers similar to Chrome, like Yandex Browser.
  • Simple and effective tool, praised for being a useful extension.

Cons

  • Frequently reported as not working or not functioning properly by multiple users.
  • Does not work in mobile Chrome or in device emulation mode (mobile simulation).
  • Guides or rulers sometimes 'stick' and are difficult to move or adjust.
  • Incompatibility reported in certain browser versions (e.g., older Chrome versions, SRWare Iron).
  • Lack of central horizontal and vertical lines, which some users requested as an improvement.
