Review Summary
Users find Grid Ruler simple, reliable, and very useful for quick alignment and measurement tasks in web development. It replicates Photoshop-like grid lines, aiding designers who do not use advanced tools. However, the extension hasn't been updated in years, causing issues like lack of support in responsive mode and Chrome DevTools, inability to save rulers across refreshes, and UI limitations such as fixed grid color and no clear-all function. Despite flaws, many users appreciate its straightforward functionality.

- Very useful for quick measurements and alignment, especially for web and frontend development.
- Provides grid lines similar to Photoshop, helpful for website design and ensuring proper alignment.
- Helps in designing websites without needing advanced tools like Figma, suitable for Wordpress and general web design.
- Appreciated for being reliable and effective over many years despite lack of updates.
Cons
- Does not work properly in responsive mode or Chrome DevTools device toolbar, limiting usefulness for frontend development and testing.
- Lack of updates for many years leads to some features malfunctioning or missing, such as saving/auto-loading rulers after refresh.
- No option to change the grid ruler color, making it hard to see on bright or varying backgrounds.

- Ruler overlays content rather than pushing content aside, which can be inconvenient during design.
