Missing blacklist/whitelist for exceptions Tab should open adjacent to the popup origin, not at the end of my tabs

Anon ymous, 2025-03-18

My old extension worked like 100% of the time but this one like works 25% of the time. But the old one was manifest v2 so chrome disabled it.

Robert Russell, 2025-03-14

Works well - however, I have a popup that I do want/need to go as pop-up (that doesn't work right when open as tab). Is there a way to add "exception" sites that would open as Popup? For now - my workaround - is to turn the extension on and off as needed.
