A similar (better) tool is baked into Chrome devtools

Yeah Chrome Dev Tools have supported that since a while now, found it very useful.

Is this feature natively built into the devtools of chrome or a chrome extension?

jamesrom • Feb 11, 2013 • View on HN

This isn't news.. Chrome Developer Tools has been able to do this for years.

Could come in handy. Does Chrome Devtools have a way to do this?

Chrome developer tools can help with that.

Would be nice to have this in Chromium/Firefox developer tools.

It's built into developer tools already bro. Google it.
