'Maximize Dragged Tab' is a Chrome extension engineered to enhance your browsing experience by automatically maximising tabs that are dragged off the main window.

not sure why, but I noticed this is working again after I left a review in July 2022 of it no longer working. Works great on single tabs I've tested, using Chrome & Slimjet on Windows 10 x64

Loved this app. It has stopped working recently. Probably a change in Chrome broke it.
