## Description

## Web App Maker Chrome Extension

Web App Maker transforms your browsing experience by allowing you to open websites in windows free from browser decorations. With just a click, you can pop out the current tab or create a web app link to launch sites like Spotify or Element in a sleek, app-like environment. This extension mimics the feel of Progressive Web Apps (PWA) or Site Specific Browsers (SSB) by leveraging Firefox's popup window API to remove traditional browser UI elements.

Key features include:
- Pop out any tab into a clean, undecorated window.
- Generate unique web app links tailored to your browser instance.
- Easily create bookmarks or shortcuts that open sites in PWA-style windows.
- Enhances workflow by providing distraction-free browsing tailored to specific web apps.

Please note, the generated web app links are specific to your browser instance and will become invalid if the extension is uninstalled or reinstalled.
