This isn't exactly a coding question but I'm not sure what other stackexchange it should fit into. It is related to responsive design development.
Safari and Chrome decrease in width to about 400px. Firefox goes down to 90px. Is there a way to get Safari and Chrome to decrease further in width?
If not, why is there a hard stop on those two browsers?
I'd like a further decrease for easier/better debugging of responsive sites.
Chrome will decrease to as small as it can based on the extension icons contained in the omnibox-bar. I'd suggest using a responsive testing tool such as ish:

or an extension such as responsi

to test within chrome.

Is there any way to show my website exactly the same way how it works on PC, tablets or notebook? I've got full HD laptop and i'm using Chrome - everything works great. On my tablet 10" I also have full HD resolution and Chrome and my website shows like this one on notebook. When I try to to show it on my full HD Lumia 1520 it's crap. I don't use Chrome here so I can understand that some element can be broken by interpreter but it's so approximate that every element go on the others. It looks like 640x480.
Is it some way to force approximate?
If the site developed is not responsive according to the screen size it will not display the content present on it in well manner, you must use bootstrap in your website to make it responsive for all kind of screen resolutions. It may has problem in the CSS. So check the css you used.
Try to use meta tag called view-port. There are different situations and you may set up your website appearance with media queries for responsive results or manage it for being non-responsive but comfortable.
If you need second result - don't use any responsive frameworks or prevent them of using responsive techniques.
There are to much different situations so I can help only if you'll show me the code you have.
In Opera Dragonfly (the Dev tools used in Opera Presto), there is a tab called Utilities.
In that tab, you can "take a screenshot" which loads an image screenshot of the current page into the dev tools.
You can then zoom in/out and use the color picker and the ruler (with sizes being scaled appropriately to the zoom).
This is very useful when cutting markup as it makes it easy to measure spacing, elements, etc... accurately by zooming in.
I'm looking for a similar extension / tool / addon for Chrome / Opera / Firefox that allows me to measure using a ruler when zoomed in but haven't found anything.
Does anyone know of anything that may help?
I've found PixelZoomer for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pixelzoomer/) which fulfills this need.
It allow to zoom into a screenshot made, measure pixels and pick colors.
I know this type of question has been asked many times before but I haven't found an answer to my specific issue yet so I thought i would post.
It's really a bit of a quirk I guess rather than anything else but I have designed a responsive site that resizes nicely in a browser when you resize the window and works perfectly when you load it up in either portrait or landscape on a mobile. However when you load it in portrait and then turn the mobile into landscape some mobile browsers don't load up the correct styling for the new screen size - BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN LIKE THIS FOR ALL BROWSERS! So far I have tested it on an Android 4.0.4 version phone using the standard Android browser and it resizes correctly when switching orientations but then on the same phone using google chrome as the browser it applies different styling BUT if you refresh the page it then applies the correct styling.
So my question is how can I force the mobile browser to render the page correctly on orientation change without having to reload the page?
The site in question is www.the-baobab.co.uk and im using the viewport meta tag and setting it to width=device-width and an initial scale of 1 then calling media queries at certain max pixel widths to alter positioning and layout for various different screen sizes which can be seen in my stylesheet1.css here
I want to use After Disaster font on my website, but I can't achieve the same vertical position of displayed text in different browsers. Even more - it is dependent on system too. You may test this:

On Linux Google Chrome displays text about one pixel higher than Firefox and Opera. On Windows Google Chrome displays it in the middle of background. What can I do with that?
There is no way to solve this problem. You have to accept that fonts will be rendered slightly differently on different systems, and find another way to achieve your visual goals.
You can control your layout via positioning CSS e.g. width, height but not font rendering.
If that level of control is not "good enough" then you can write browser-dependent CSS (tutorials exist online) to compensate for differences.
But please remember the goal in all computing is "good enough": Perfection is not cost-effective!
Once you have achieved a level where further improvements require a certain effort, but there are more important things to spend that effort on, that is the point when you have finished.
I'm working on a web project that has some accessibility features mandated by the client, including a "font size changer" to allow the font size to be increased for visually impaired users.
Despite my arguments that a better experience will be had by using the built-in zoom features in the browser, the client has insisted that their users will not know to use these built-in features, so we must provide a text size changing widget.
What I'd like to do, if possible, is cause these page elements to invoke the browser's own zoom functionality (Ctrl + + in firefox, for example). If the browser doesn't support this method of zooming, then I might fall back to increasing the font size with css.
How can I best implement this kind of feature? Is it even possible? Is there some solution that I've overlooked?
There is no way as far as I know to use the browser's built in function. However it can be done with CSS3 or javascript. for a CSS3 example look here: http://www.css3.com/css-zoom/
