What is Popout?
"Popout" is a Chrome extension that enhances your browsing by allowing to open tabs and web apps in a separate, minimalistic window. Unlike regular new windows, these windows do not contain the tab view, address bar or any buttons, thus saving your screen space. This user-friendly tool makes navigation to frequently used websites and apps easier and more efficient.

It does exactly what it's supposed to. I use it in combination with a timed refresh addon to monitor stats on a site. Terrific! Thank you!
