Open in Specific Window: Customizable Link Opening in Chrome

'Open in Specific Window' is a Chrome extension that enhances your browsing experience by enabling customizable link opening. Instead of the default mechanism which opens a clicked link in the same window, this extension adds a right-click menu that allows you to choose the window to open the link in. This feature comes in handy particularly when having multiple Chrome windows open. The menu automatically shows the titles of available windows, and even lets you name your open windows for easy identification.

User reviews

I would give this a 5 star, but as of today, Chrome will no longer allow this addon to run because it doesn't publish data collection/sharing information.

If you are using chrome with multiple monitors (and multiple chrome-windows) this is an absolutely essential productivity-extension. Thanks a lot, it saves me many annoying drags and clicks!
