Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Especially useful for these amazing multi-monitor setups when it's too annoying to drag tabs around between windows.

Quick feature list

the source tab position is saved in all windows, so if it's moved back into a window, it moves into its original position
if the tab is in a tab group, when moving it the identical group will be created or used in another window. When moving back to original window the tab will return into its original group
multiple tabs move - select multiple tabs (use shift or cmd/ctrl) and move all of them into the next window in the same order
if there is only 1 window, a new window will be opened on move
keyboard shortcut support

User reviews

Love this extension! I noticed that on the latest chrome, it will no longer cycle between windows indefinitely: it just stops at the last window that you opened. This means if you have two windows, you can only move from window A to B, and never from B to A. Would be great if that could be fixed! It's like 50% perfect as it is.

I don't like this extension because if you already have two separate windows, moving a different tab to a new window will just move it back and forth between those two pre-existing windows. But what if I want to move a tab to a third window? That's why I opted to use the "Pop out tabs to new window" Chrome Extension instead because it always moves a tab to a completely new window.
