Web App Mode

Auto pop-up tab to standalone window by URL match patterns.

Web App Mode is a handy Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by automatically popping up tabs into standalone windows based on URL match patterns. This utility helps organize your workflow by detaching selected tabs, making multitasking easier and more efficient.

To use Web App Mode, you first need to install and enable the companion 'Popup Window' add-on. Then simply add your desired URL match patterns in the extension's options page. Anytime you open a tab that matches these patterns, it will automatically open in a separate popup window, allowing for better window management and focused browsing sessions.

It works, has settings to manage auto-opening in Web App Mode, and has a settings to control the size of the window plus the position. I have yet to find an issue with this.

Extension safety

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.

Web App Mode requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.
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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

Web App Mode has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
