## Review summary

Users find the Popup window add-on useful for creating borderless, focused popup windows and appreciate its simplicity and compatibility with other add-ons. However, multiple reviews mention limitations like inability to maximize popup windows, non-functional size settings, and inconsistent keyboard shortcut behavior. Some users also report problems when merging popup windows back into tabs, leading to script failures. Customization features such as setting popup titles or alternative activation methods are desired but currently limited.

### Pros

- Works well for creating borderless popup windows.
- Can be paired with other add-ons (e.g., WebAppMode) to enhance functionality.
- Simple and effective at what it does, easy to use.
- Helpful for opening specific web pages in a focused popup window.
- Allows some customization, has potential for further features like title customization.

### Cons

- Popup windows cannot be maximized; maximize button is disabled or greyed out.
- Size settings (height/width) do not work reliably; windows use pre-determined sizes.
- Keyboard shortcuts for the add-on sometimes stop working or do not stick consistently.
- Issues with merging pop-up windows back into tabs can cause scripts to fail.
- Limited customization options for popup window titles and activation methods.
