PixelZoomer – Firefox Extension for Pixel Analysis

PixelZoomer is a Firefox extension created for web developers that enables zooming into websites for pixel-perfect measurements and color selection. PixelZoomer uses a screenshot of the viewable area of a web page for pixel-based view display. It serves to replace image editing software during web development, allowing for on-the-spot size and distance analysis. Now a WebExtension, it also functions with Firefox Electrolysis (e10s).
