Popout Plus is an innovative Chrome extension designed to enhance user productivity by transforming tabs into manageable popups. It offers diverse features such as tiling, cascading, combining popups, and opening links as popups. Additionally, it employs a keyboard shortcut and customizable icon to toggle options quickly. The extension remembers previous popup layouts and allows URL white-listing for customized page behavior. It works with both normal and incognito sessions and facilitates custom context menus. Future upgrades include refreshing popups, global settings, popup locking, and window dimension customizations.

I currently author the website TechNewsforYou.com ... I consider your browser extension one of the hidden gems in the Chrome Web Store. Very useful application (especially when working on my Chromebook). I did a write up on Popout Plus on the site to encourage you to keep up the development and to spread the word. https://technewsforyou.com/2021/01/12/convert-chrome-browser-tabs-into-popup-groupings-with-popout-plus/
This pop out is great. I love that when I pop out a tab it takes the extensions bar with it. Now my brightness slider extension can be used while watching videos.
I've done an extensive search in the Chrome Store and no other pop out includes extensions. I'd love to see a setting to set the size of pop outs and whether it is on top or allowed to be behind. But, doesn't take away the 5 star rating. A++ - KUDOS!
