This was simple and worked great. However, the latest update now requires access to my browsing history? Seems more like malware now as there's no need for that permission. No thanks.

Thank you so much! Brilliant - it just works with no hassle. Sadly many users with this issue (they'll know who they are) may not find their way to this extension. I'm so glad i did. The first forum posts I've read with others having this issue have been closed for no further comment so i can't broadcast awareness of this extension. Brilliant brilliant, will save me little bits of time throughout every day from having to reposition Chrome to be exactly where I want the window each time. Why Chrome can't simply include this is as a menu item is stupid. (But that's big tech for ya! they always know best). I use a split screen display setup and just need the app windows positioned in the same place each time (exactly - not nearly). So thankyou thankyou thankyou.
