[WayBack/Archive.is] Dimensions – Chrome Web Store: A tool for designers to measure screen dimensions
This extension measures the dimensions from your mouse pointer up/down and left/right until it hits a border. So if you want to measure distances between elements on a website this is perfect. It doesn’t really work with images because there the colors change a lot pixel to pixel.
# Images & HTML Elements
Measure between the following elements: images, input-fields, buttons, videos, gifs, text, icons. You can measure everything you see in the browser.
# Mockups
Your designer handed you mockups as PNGs or JPEGs? Just drop them into Chrome, activate Dimensions and start measuring.
# Keyboard Shortcut
You can start and stop dimensions with the ALT + D shortcut.
# Area Boundaries
Wanna get the radius of a circle? Is text standing in your way? Press Alt to measure the dimensions of a connected area.

Blocking persons (for instance for sending you materials that in G+ would be a T.O.S. violation) is only possible by blocking them, not by reporting them.
Most hangouts users however do have a G+ account, so you can request a block there.

Somehow Firefox is available on ARM by default, but the crash recovery isn’t that awesome.
On my list of things to try is Chrome or Chromium. These links should help me find out if this is possible at all:
On Firefox crash recovery:

So I wondered why on some tabs, the bookmark bar would never disappear:
Chrome’s default new tab page (NTP) always shows a bookmark bar, even if you turn it off for other pages. You can however install browser extensions which replace the NTP, and the replacements do not automatically get the bookmarks bar (but can with some extra programming).
So for instance Google’s Earth View extension does not show bookmarks, whereas Pinterest’s now does.
Thanks deltab for answering this at [WayBack] google chrome – How to hide the bookmark bar? – Super User

Hopefully by now the extensions below still work, as Google removed the “View Image” button in Google Image Search a few years back.
When not: these might help finding an updated method (:

From a while back, but still relevant as the speed of the GMail web-UI still has not improved.
