What is Tab Split?
'Tab Split' is a unique Chrome extension that automatically opens each start page set in your Chrome browser in a separate window across multiple screens. Designed especially for monitoring through webpages, it operates horizontally across monitors and is adjustable between maximized and fullscreen view.

Window positioning can be altered by changing the order of specified homepages in Chrome settings.

Extension summary

Tab Split 1.1.3 Author: Jonathan "Acetolyne" Langlois @cetolyne

OVERVIEW Tab Split is a Chrome extension that makes your homepage tabs open in different windows and across multiple screens. How it is different from other extensions is that you are not required to click a button, instead this extension runs when the browser is started which helps with automated startups for monitoring through websites.

SHOULD YOU USE THIS EXTENSION If you are not setting up dashboards for monitoring then this extension is probably not for you!

PREREQUISITES Before Tab Split will work you must first setup some websites to open when you start Chrome browser. To do this go to settings, choose the "On Startup" tab on the left, the choose "Open a specific page or set of pages". Add a new page for each page you would like to open when Chrome starts. These are the websites that will be spread out across your screens as Chrome windows when Chrome first starts. NOTE: pressing the reload button in the extensions section will not make Tab Split trigger, it will only trigger when the browser is first opened, to test please close all your browser windows and reopen the browser.

Does not work. Setup startup tabs, exited Chrome and restarted it as the guide directs and the tabs all open in the one window.
