Maximize Dragged Tab - Enhance Tab Management on Chrome

'Maximize Dragged Tab' is a Chrome extension engineered to enhance your browsing experience by automatically maximising tabs that are dragged off the main window. This feature, missing in Chrome 100 and other versions, is reintroduced with this extension. This particularly proves useful when using multiple monitors or managing multiple Chrome windows. However, the extension unfortunately doesn’t support Mac.

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.
