Full summary	Grid Ruler is a powerful Chrome extension tailored for web developers and designers who need to create precise vertical and horizontal grid guides similar to Photoshop's style. Users can click and drag from the main vertical or horizontal rulers to quickly set grids on any webpage, facilitating layout design and alignment. The extension also features a ruler tool that measures distances between grid lines effortlessly. By clicking on the intersection of vertical and horizontal rulers, you can enter measurement mode. Holding the Shift key while in this mode allows you to draw perfectly straight measurement lines. Grid Ruler streamlines the process of developing pixel-perfect web layouts and enhances productivity by simplifying grid creation and measurement tasks.
