It also comes with multi-monitor support, and other features like shift-click to open links in the left-hand window, customizable window position, and support for Incognito windows.

absolutely love it. Some times when you start the service, it doesn't snap automatically. Apart from that I love this extension.

I have a love/hate at this extension. I've been using it for a few years, mostly for work things. I want to stop using it though, mainly because of the Resize Actions - glue windows together leaves an unacceptable gap between the windows, and Remember resized dimensions overlays the right window on the edge of the left, partially hiding any scrollbars on the left side 🤬 so then I have to manually windows+arrow to scoot the right window over a bit. THAT SAVES ME NO TIME FFS. I feel like there could be some chrome settings that could affect this and I'd fix that and keep using the extension if I can be bothered to dig around. I'm going to try leaving both of those settings unchecked... I feel like it still doesn't work right if I do that though.

Thought it was going to be just what I needed... until I found out I have to re-set it every time I want to use it.
