Separate Window is a powerful Chrome extension that lets you extract an arbitrary area of any webpage into a separate popup window without reloading the page. Perfect for watching videos, playing games, or isolating widgets and informers, it enhances multitasking and browsing efficiency. Simply select the desired page element by activating the extension, adjusting the selection area with mouse wheel scrolling, and clicking to open it in a new window.

Additional features include saving your preferred window size and position for consistent layout, bookmarking your selections in a dedicated folder, taking snapshots of popup windows, and generating shareable links that open specific page areas directly when the extension is installed. Separate Window brings new flexibility to how you interact with web content, streamlining access and organization in your browsing experience.

Pros

Very useful for separating video or media elements from webpages.
Keeps media player controls intact unlike other similar extensions.
Helps to declutter the browser by isolating page elements into separate windows.
Compatible with various sites including Facebook Live and some video platforms.
Widely appreciated and considered essential by users for media playback management.

Cons

Lacks the ability to keep the separated window always on top, requiring manual workarounds.
Some issues with functionality after Chrome updates, causing parts of pages to open in tabs instead of new windows.
No built-in option for automatic window arrangement or resizing with mouse wheel.
No easy method to revert the separated window back into a tab; only option is to close it.
Does not fully follow Chrome extension best practices, risking future incompatibility.

Недостатки — Нет возможности вернуться обратно во вкладку, только закрыть. Невозможно сделать поверх всех окон, что вообще теряет смысл самого расширения. По крайней мере интуитивно я таковые не нашел. (на МасOS) Есть что улучшить
