Useful for those with no other choice. Although I do prefer using the web developer plugin for firefox.

I agree with all of the above, it could definitely do with emulating the status bars and toolbars. Apart from that though this is a very useful tool that i will be making use of.. Until a better version comes along ayway.

While i agree with JG’s point many people are still using sites that are 3-4 years old and in much needed update to view various resolutions of there web designs. For them this is a great tool. However the simulations of toolbars and status bars would be a great addition to viewlike.us.

@JG: That’s a good point, but like I wrote in the post, something’s better than nothing. Also, the preview is pretty accurate for width of the screen, for example, I just realized that the lack of lateral margins is a problem for smaller resolutions.

I can’t find any use to it if it doesn’t simulate the various browsers’ toolbars and status bars plus some menu for the OS itself. A 1024×768 resolution never sees a page at 1024×768, the fold can be anywhere from 400px to 600px depending of the user’s toolbar configuration.
