What is Single Window (open links in active window)?

Single Window (open links in active window) is a Chrome extension designed to provide a seamless browsing experience, by forcing all new windows into the active browser window. This innovative tool redirects all pop-up windows to the current window, preventing any interference in workflow. Easily enabled or disabled through a toolbar icon, Single Window provides the convenience of opening links right within your active window, while allowing manual window opening options, such as Ctrl+N and New Window from the 3-dot menu. Note: It does not control incognito or extension windows.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension prevents web pages from opening pop-up windows of any kind. When the extension is enabled, all newly opened windows will get directed to the active window (in the currently active window before this window gets opened). You can toggle the extension on and off from the toolbar button to enable the single-window mode or disable it. When the extension is enabled, all windows are forced to stay in the same active window. So if a website issues a popup window, instead the extension moves the newly created popup window into the active window and then focuses on this newly created window (same as dragging a tab from one window to another window). When the extension is disabled, popup opening is permitted.
