I often need to resize windows to specific dimensions, particularly when creating demos and screenshots for software publications on platforms like the Google Web Store or Microsoft Partner Center. Installing a large number of extensions for occasional tasks can clutter the browser, especially when they’re only needed sporadically. To streamline my setup, I finally added a window resize feature directly to NiM. As a development tool, this addition is natural and fulfills a common requirement.

Using the resize feature in action

The feature is made available via the browser context menu API Just right-click on a browser window, and you’ll see the Node.js V8 --inspector Manager submenu with a range of preset window sizes. Simply select the appropriate size for your needs. While I may add more sizes or custom sizing options in the future, the current presets cover the essentials and reduce the need for multiple extensions for simple development tasks.
