On Firefox (and now Chrome apparently) web developer plugin. http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/ Tools -> Web Developer -> Resize

Unfortunately less complete, because it resizes the browser window globally (outer size here). With tree-style tabs it doesn't match what many will see.

I've made myself bookmarketlets that do this for iPhone/iPad sizes. IMO, you ought to be able to drag the different screen sizes onto your bookmarks bar.

Also try http://browserling.com. You can click the screen icon in the sidebar to change the resolutions.

No, actually the web developer extension allows either the entire window or the portal (page display) dimensions to be specified.

Just want to nitpick that it's the iPhone 4, not 4G. It may be the fourth generation, but it's not a 4G phone.

It's not even the fourth generation! So: iPhone, iPhone 3G (second generation) + 3GS, iPhone 4 (third generation). I really don't like when people say 4G because it's twice wrong but it's hard to blame those who do it.

Except most people think: iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4. There's an argument to be made that the iPhone 4 is the 4th generation of iPhones.

If you go to this link in Chrome, you cannot resize the current browser window, so a new window is opened. However you cannot change the URL of this new window to see how your website does with the set resolution. So work needs to be done there.

In what browser? For Chrome, it appears to resize the outer window, not the viewport.
