I've been moving away from using Firefox as my main browser due to the fact that Chrome seems much faster at running Javascript and uses less memory, but I keep getting pulled back due to the fantastic plugins that Firefox has available. I've found some equivalents in the list of Chrome extensions, but they just don't seem quite as...good. Today I was directed to another amazing Firefox plugin - Pixelperfect.

Like Firebug, only a couple of hours use of this plugin has made me wonder how I ever managed to be a web developer without it. It's a simple enough idea - you can overlay a designer's graphic on top of an actual web page, adjust the opacity and so forth, and start nudging your css so that it matches the graphic exactly. It just works really, really well, and integrates nicely with Firebug. No more pain for me trying to figure out by sight if my font sizes and spacing are right. So I guess I'll be sticking with Firefox for some time to come. Hopefully they'll fix (i.e. replace) the Javascript engine...
