Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Chrome released a new version on April 1, 2022 which changed the behavior of dragging out a tab into a new window/monitor. When you drag a tab out into a new window, it stays small and no longer maximizes to fill the screen.

This Chrome extension aims to bring back the old behavior.

Specifically, this extension does the following:

If the window is maximized, and you drag a tab out into a new window then it'll maximize the new window as well.
If the window was not maximized to begin with, then the new window after dragging out a tab will not be maximized.
Supports dragging out multiple tabs at once.

This extension does not require any additional permissions. This extension does not track or store any user data.

Works great! All functionality described by the dev is really on point and is great for me. It does a lot more than this one: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/niaijlpbaogmimhfoaakogncgmhhopge Very happy with it

Can you please make it so it works when dragging MULTIPLE tabs as well!!? It works fantastic with just 1 tab, but I am often dragging at least 2-3 tabs at once that I have preselected/highlighted with the Ctrl key or Shift keys and my mouse. will change to 5 star if you can enable it to work with MULTIPLE tabs.
