Viewport (beta) Firefox

Viewport (beta)

By: drbxho
Allows tabs to be opened in separate minimalistic windows.

Features & Capabilities

This is meant to allow users with small screen real estate (laptops) to maximize their workspace.

Main feature: Quickly converts regular window (with omnibar, bookmark bar, and other UI elements) to minimalistic window (popup window) and vice versa (while keeping the coordinates and height/width of the origin type the same), using keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + Commas (default value, but modifiable in "chrome://extensions/shortcuts". If this is modified, the content script still listens for "Ctrl + Shift + P". Edge users might need to manually set this shortcut as it may not override the browser's new incognito window shortcut. On MacOS, it also uses "Ctrl" not "Command").

Display status in Title Bar: Although meant for having workspace in minimalistic windows, this extension displays the most current URL on the title bar in addition to the original title of the current page. This feature can be toggled with Ctrl + Shift + Alt + T, which might be useful when users want to save page to PDF or print page with original title.

Copy URL to clipboard: For convenience, users can quickly copy the current URL to the OS's clipboard with Ctrl + Shift + Alt + U.

Preset size and location: This extension would quickly popout the current tab, then resize the new popup window to preset locations onto your current monitor: try Ctrl + Shift + "1 - 9", these shortcuts will be removed in future versions to give way for new experimented features as a more useful set of shortcuts are now available "Ctrl + Shift + ArrowLeft/Right/Up/Down". These will move the current window to the edge of the current workArea (screen - taskbar). It will intuitively move to the next monitor if repeated. "Ctrl + Shift + Alt + ArrowLeft/ArrowRight/Period" will move the current window directly to the adjacent monitor in a loop.This feature is implemented in the injected content script of the current page. That means it will not work on pages that do not allow content scripts (such chrome/edge:///, including chrome://new-tab-page, Chrome Web Store).

Listens for commands from other extensions: This extension also listens for some request from my other extensions (or any other extensions' requests), that are being concurrently developed (not yet published). Some commands from other extensions: 'popup', 'normal' (style), 'maximized', 'minimized', 'normal' (state), 'checkPopState', 'reloadExtension', 'disableExtension' and 'hardReloadTab'.

Hard reload: Sometimes users might want do hard reload of a page (bypassing old, cached data of a page). There are ways to do so within the devTool page, but this extension quickly allows hard reload with Ctrl + Shift + Alt + R.

Auto-popout: this extension will automatically pop a tab out when users visit youtube.com, edge://, chrome:// (except for "chrome://new-tab-page'" and "edge://newtab"), file:///* (if extension allowed local file access), *.(pdf|jpg|png|gif|tiff). Other domains will be added such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus. They will be modifiable in the options page in future versions.

This extension is in beta stage, which is being actively updated with new features. If the extension becomes too packed with features, they might be broken up into multiple extensions later. It is based on previous versions of Ett Chung's work (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/popup-window/nnlippelgfbglbhiccffmnmlnhmbjjpe) which is a purer implementation of the main feature without bells or whistles, or keyboard shortcut pollution.

Is Viewport (beta) Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Viewport (beta) requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Viewport (beta) is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
