User reviews

Works great (for me). I'm an avid user of another extension called 'Tab Session Manager', which I use to log & manage my excessive number of windows. I'm one of those users with dozens of windows & hundreds of tabs open at any given time. TSM helps with this, but when the browser crashes & reopens, it never gets the maximized/minimized state the way it was. This extension 'Maximize Windows' fixes this in one click..!! 😍 I see others commented about a negative interaction with popups from other extensions. I will report back & update this review if I run into that.

非常简单易用的插件,图标也很可爱。 Vivaldi for macOS有一个年久不修的bug,就是启动时不能保持窗口模式最大化(在本地配制里可以修改,但是一打开就会改回去T_T,反正官方就是修不好),用这个插件保持新建标签页最大化搞定。

My browser doesn't maximize new windows when they're created. This extension works around that issue. It's more useful than you would believe.
