2023-07-10	Marek Liska	Please repair the alt+click option! It would be the best extension with it!
2023-05-22	Met Samuel	Alt-click doesn't work. This extension is useless, there's no way I'm going to constantly right-click.
2023-05-02	Clemens Ratte-Polle	no option to open links in a specific tab ? :)
2023-01-04	Charles Magnuson	Love that I can rename windows, but I then find that feature rather useless because the extension gives my windows an order which doesn't make sense and I cannot rearrange. It would be helpful if I could reorder the list. It would be even more helpful if the window I am hovering over is highlighted as I move my mouse through the list. I cannot get the alt-click target feature to work. Is this feature still functional? I would love to be able to define URLs such as company.com/user/* where any URL matching that search could be directed to open in a specific window when clicked.
2021-11-09	David	It's great that you can rename windows, but chrome already has a feature for this, you should just pull in the named windows and display those. Then this extension would be perfect for me.
2021-09-09	Jeff Eddings	Really like the functionality, but I really wish it showed the Name of the window in the list. Instead it shows the current tab title. If you go into chrome settings for the window, click More Tools and Name Window... you can give the window your own name to better organize. I wish it showed that name.
2020-11-29	Brendan Janssen	Great extension. However, it's a bit slow from the right click menu. It would be amazing to have a key shortcut combination to "throw" to specific windows. eg) - Alt+1 + url click -> throws to a window designated as 1 - Alt+2 + url click -> throws to a window designated as 2 etc This way I can stay focused on my task but can direct different links to different 'logical content areas' (windows) on my screen
2020-11-19	Oren Kidron	Looks good, can't get the Alt+click to work
2020-07-23	Rodrigo Souto	Very nice extension! For some reason the Alt-Click does not work for me even after verifying the window name several times (Linux with Chrome 83.0.4103.97). Also if the shortcut would have other options such as the mouse wheel button this would be completely game changer for me.
2020-07-18	Nid	Excellent idea, exactly what I was looking for. Only 1 issue is that opening a link from a google sheets cell downloads the link rather than opening it in my second window. With that one tiny thing ironed out, this would become an indescribably massive timesaver.
