Top 5 Google Chrome Apps Every Website Designer Should Have

Elements like CSS font types, colors, styles and other elements can be inspected with Google Chrome’s Inspect Element option which is accessible from right click menu.

For example: Suppose you are curious if a heading has very good color shade and you are willing to find out what that attribute’s value is.

Inspect Element is very useful feature but it is not easy for everyone.

Now in this tutorial we are sharing a list of some good Google Chrome extensions you can use in similar cases.
