Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Why use it? Browsers support a hierarchy of stacking contexts, rather than a single global one. This means that z-index values are often used incorrectly, and arbitrarily high values get set.

By Using Z-Context, you'll know:

- If the current element creates a stacking context, and why

- What its parent stacking context is

- The z-index value

Awesome extension, has helped me a lot when trying to level stacking contexts in order to display custom overlays. Light and straight to the point, with good selection of information that it makes available at a glance. Like Aviral said really surprising that its not part of CDT

Works well for what it does. Surprising that this isn't built into CDT already.

Really handy! But why on earth does it need permissions to *change* data on websites I visit? Surely *reading* that data is enough for the current functionality?
