Browser plugin to resize window for brower testing

Question

When im making a website i work on my 22" external display, which is fine, but to get a better idea of what the site will look like on smaller screens i have to resize my browser window.

At the moment i use http://resizemybrowser.com/ (which also has a safari extension) but i was wandering if theres a firefox or chrome browser plugin that dose somthing similar, ive searched but so far been unable to find anything.

Was just digging around in firefox and found that it also has a "Responsive design" mode. Go to Web Developer → Responsive Design View.

You'll get a dropdown with preset resolutions afterwards:

This is actually a built-in feature in Chrome.

Open the DevTools (F12)
Open the Settings
Set the size you want for your window in the Overrides panel.

Note: When selecting a User Agent in that panel, Chrome will automatically try to pick the correct device metrics for the selected agent.

For Chrome you can use Window Resizer. Fore Firefox, you can use Firesizer.
