Site On Panel

Creates Panels from Sites

Site On Panel is a Chrome extension that revolutionizes how you open and organize websites. It enables Chrome's panel feature, allowing sites to be displayed in small, draggable, and resizable windows that stay on top of all other applications.

With Site On Panel, you can easily manage multiple websites simultaneously without cluttering your main browser window. The extension also offers special handling for popular services like Gmail, YouTube, and Grooveshark by opening their mobile versions for a cleaner, more streamlined visual experience. To get started, enable Chrome panels via chrome://flags/, restart your browser, and enjoy a new, efficient way to browse apps and websites.

User reviews

Pros
  • Allows the user to open a clean mini-window for various applications like, Pandora, Spotify, GMail and Calendar without any tabs, search or bookmarks
  • Position of the mini-window can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically
  • Extension makes muting faster and easier
Cons
  • Does not stay on top and there's no way to configure this addon to change that behavior
  • There's a bug that causes pop out windows to disappear when more than one is opened and set to full screen
  • Experienced some functionality issues in recent versions

Panels in Chromium have been dead for a while, but this extension is still useful. You can probably just set the resultant pop-up to be always on top, either from the button or by the context menu. For me I right click>more actions>keep above others, but it may differ for you. See if your system offers that mode!

Doesn't work. Just opens up a new window that doesn't stay on top. Panels were already enabled in chrome flags.

Still using in 2023 ... maybe some of the alternate similar extensions does something better, I don't know.
