Once activated, you'll notice a uniform grid (50x50 pixels) overlaying the page, accompanied by a handy info bar in the top-left corner labeled "Ruler Mode" (it is disabled by default since 25.04.2024). Need to disable the add-on or remove the grid? Just press the toolbar button again. While the add-on is active, freely move your mouse within the page to draw the rectangle.

You can snag the source code by right-clicking on the "Add to Firefox" button and selecting "Save Link As..." Choose your destination folder, save the file as an XPI, then convert it to a RAR or ZIP format.

As for settings or options, Page Ruler keeps it simple—there are none to adjust, providing a straightforward user experience.

✨ And while Page Ruler is a handy tool, it's important to note that it only functions on webpages with content—no blank tabs, unfortunately! Should you need to revert a page to its original state, simply reload it. All changes made by the add-on will vanish upon reload, leaving your page as good as new.
