Open-as-Popup is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by allowing you to convert any tab into a popup window. This popup window removes navigation and tab bars, saving vertical screen space and providing a cleaner, distraction-free view of your content.

The extension integrates seamlessly with Chrome by adding a toolbar button, context menu entry, and a customizable keyboard shortcut. You can effortlessly switch tabs to popup mode and back, with the extension intelligently reattaching the popup to its original window or the last focused window when needed.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Open-as-Popup does not require any sensitive permissions.
