I would give it 5 Stars, but have concerns about it being removed from Chrome. See Below. "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Hopefully the extension will be updated to meet Chrome's requirements.

Was using an inferior plugin that would only save one layout. Found this one and I'm happy as a lark. Works great, even on multiple monitors. The only thing I've noticed is that windows are never maximized to fill their screens. They are close, but not quite maximized. It would be nice to have a setting where we can specify that. Also - you might want to check into something. After installing I'm getting an odd windows notice every few minutes that I've never seen before saying Scan To Computer is no longer working. I double checked my printers scan to a network folder feature and it works fine. So I'm not sure if maybe this is unrelated, but it seems odd that it just popped up after installing. UPDATE : Rating lowered 2 stars because on three ocassions now it has randomly "lost" some of my tabs. It won't even open a browser for those tabs. I have my setup with multiple browsers on multiple screens, each with a tab open to a different location. The plugin normally works great opening up to 5 (the most i've tried) browsers with 5 different sites. But every so often it just forgerts a couple of the browser windows and I have to rebuild the profile for that set. Frustrating.
