Force New Tabs to Main Window
Description from store

This is a simple chrome extension that allows you to designate a single main window to which new tabs are opened.

For example, you may want one window to only be your mail client (e.g. gmail), but still want your main browsing window to handle any new tabs opened from an email.

Use the options to select the main window.

I often like to watch video streams full screen on a second monitor, so I move one of my browser tabs there for that purpose. I was hoping to find an extension that would force links I click in other programmes (email client for example) to open in the "main" browser window to stop interrupting the video stream. This extension comes close... links always open in the correct window, however they still interrupt the video by exiting full-screen mode every time - even if the main window was already the foreground browser window.
