Doesn't work.
We have several pc's that just started experiencing the "disappearing window" syndrome in Chrome within the last couple of months. All have added the Chrome new window focus extension and it hasn't worked for any of them. Very frustrating problem to have. Since this has been going on for years, you'd think Chrome would have fixed it by now. If it weren't for a speed issue, I'd be using Firefox.
