Disables tabs for tab-less browsing

Tab-less Chrome Extension

Tab-less is a user-friendly extension designed to disable tabbed browsing by allowing your browser to open new windows instead. Many users find it challenging to manage multiple tabs, which often clutter the browsing experience. With Tab-less, you gain the ability to view all open windows simultaneously, enhancing clarity and organization.

This lightweight extension prioritizes simplicity while maintaining user privacy, as it doesn't require access to your browsing history. It's ideal for anyone frustrated by automatic tab creation and prefers a more streamlined approach to web navigation. Enjoy the freedom of browsing with windows rather than being forced into tabs!

love this plugin! i was spending way too much time trying to find a previously opened tab. it is much easier to find what i am looking for using a window for each url. also, i notice the clutter of windows more so i frequently close windows i am not going to use. thank you!
