Summary

Open any URL webpage as a small popup window.

Aside remembers the last page you've visited and provides bookmarking so you can quickly navigate to your most frequently visited sites.

Avoid cluttering your browser with lots of windows for a quick task. Just take it Aside!

Known Issues: Doesn't work well with twitter.com and other websites that outright deny embedding. Please consider using this extension alongside https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ignore-x-frame-headers/gleekbfjekiniecknbkamfmkohkpodhe?hl=en-GB to get around these issues.

⚠️When the extension popup is open, it intercepts webpage responses and removes the x-frame-options header which is designed to prevent clickjacking attacks. See https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Clickjacking. We recommend you use this extension only with websites you trust to not clickjack you. This behaviour is reverted when the extension popup is closed.⚠️
