Chrome does not show width and height of screen when inspecting the page with Inspect
Recently I reinstalled my PC. When finished reinstalling everything I noticed upon using Inspect that the screen height and width of the page does not show on the top right corner anymore.
Did they remove it or is there a secret setting I haven't found yet? or maybe a bug? This made my life so much easier when I had to make a site responsive.
Solution 1:
Apparently it was removed in one of the latest updates, however you can access the Toggle device mode by pressing F12 and then pressing Ctrl + Shift + M.
If you do not like this way, you can use this example based on javascript that will tell you the current width of the window:
var onresize = function()
{
var width = window.innerWidth
|| document.documentElement.clientWidth
|| document.body.clientWidth;
console.log(width);
}
Press F12 and then press Esc to see console.

Solution 2:
That was definitely a useful feature that they removed. Luckily there's a Chrome extension that you can use to achieve the same functionality:
Download here: Viewport Dimensions
Restart your browser after installing. Enjoy!
Solution 3:
I use a neat little trick I found out myself. Just keep the cursor on the body
node in the inspector so that it's constantly highlighted while resizing. I really hope they reintegrate this functionality.
