I love the idea but not being able to save guides makes it so frustrating to use as everything you do is gone as soon as you close it. I'm not going to give you a low star because it's still handy for checking if something is aligned properly. Future features to make this a quality 5* extension would be saved guide layouts (multiple layouts), suggested layouts (bootstrap grid, read from site css etc.), show distance between guides when hovering over, and different colour gridlines. Thanks for your work on this and looking forward to new features!

Es muy bueno, pero no permite tener más de 2 guías, uno horizontal y otro vertical, debería tener un mejor soporte para otras guías.
En general, funciona bien, añade una regla lo cual es perfecto.

Extension safety
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk
impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of
damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your
personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they
do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Guides does not require any sensitive permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change
as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
Guides has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
