What is Maximize Dragged Tab?
'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.

This is such a blessing after Google decided to break something that worked just fine. The extension does exactly what it's supposed to and makes using Chrome quite a bit less frustrating. Thank you so much for making it!

Can you please make it so it works when dragging MULTIPLE tabs as well!!? It works fantastic with just 1 tab, but I am often dragging at least 2-3 tabs at once that I have preselected/highlighted with the Ctrl key or Shift keys and my mouse. will change to 5 star if you can enable it to work with MULTIPLE tabs.
