Alex McBride 2025-08-23: Love it, works perfectly, minimal access needed for a very simple task. Would love to ask though, is there any intent to add to Firefox? I've switched browsers and I find myself missing this extension on the daily. Would be MUCH appreciated if so. Thanks!
Inna Zukher 2025-07-15: Creates a popup and allows to toggle between popup and tab mode, and does this with no glitches at all and flexible settings! However, no option to merge the popup back to original window, so for me personally not very useful.
Matiaan Jansen van Rensburg 2025-07-03: you can write a AHK script to make alt+x detach the current tab and make it full screen #IfWinActive,ahk_exe chrome.exe !x:: Send !x Sleep 500 Send !{Space} Sleep 100 Send x return #IfWinActive
Antón Carlos Vázquez Martínez 2025-03-31: Speed and confort.
Allen Nikka 2024-10-01: I love this thing, I install it on every computer I get / chromium browser I install.
Dean 2024-08-21: Thanks to the developer for this great extension! Could you please add an option to open new windows maximized? In other words, when tabs are opened as new windows, I would like those windows to be maximized. It seems that this could be a setting under the Resize options for users to choose from. There is an extension called, "New Tab, New Window" that opens new windows maximized, so I know this is possible. I would love this extension to offer that option. Thanks for considering my feature request. What I'd really love is to create keyboard shortcuts to "Maximize Tab to New Window on Monitor 1" and "Maximize Tab to New Window on Monitor 2."
Sharoon Qadeer 2024-05-29: Moving works fine but i dont want to focus or make active window where it is moved from window 1 i moved tab to window 2 i want to to focus active window 1 not window 2 but this feature not working
Benyamin Limanto 2024-05-18: The only way to use last tab or window with ctrl+tab by moving the tab into new window... Thank you for briging this extension. It's very very useful!

Shayne Williams 2023-03-17: Absolutely perfect, did EXACTLY what I was looking for. I'm thankful to god that the creator of this app was self advertising on a 9 year old quora post. I use this to open tabs in new windows since (like many nice things) it's not natively supported in chrome or brave. Haven't gone fully into the tiling features but I'm going to spend more time looking into it.

Cameron S. 2022-07-29: Awesome tool, I use multiple monitors and it's annoying to have to always drag new Chrome tabs to my secondary display. This tool solves that and let's me do it with a quick shortcut. The only issue I have is that the extension displays new Chrome tabs in a non-maximized state upon sending them to the secondary monitor. If there's any way to fix this and have windows be fully maximized when sending to the next display, this extension would be perfect.

Kelvin Ng 2021-12-05: This tool is super handy! I always need to work with multiple windows and displays, now I can easily move the tabs between them. Also, its an open source project, you can check that it really won't collect your data thus safe to use. I love this add-on. Good work, keep it up 👍

Miguel Garza 2021-09-04: I love that if you send the tab to a popup, the icon in the (Windows 10) taskbar is specific to that page and separate from your regular browser icon. Love it, love it.

Slim Geek 2021-07-17: good overall. but an option to disable the context menu entry would be better.

Matteo Bezzi 2021-05-30: useful but annoying: every time i start chrome, it keeps opening a tab to explain the shortcuts.

Anonymous 2021-02-11: I've looked for this multiple times. Not sure how I was not able to find this plugin before. But today is the happy day! All I ever needed is to move the tab to another monitor in a new window. The only missing thing is that it doesn't respect the window size/status (if I'm in maximised window, I expect a new one to be maximised). Let's say I have Chrome on monitor 2 (with maximised status), I click alt+shift+d, the tab goes to monitor 1 in a new Chrome window. However, it's not maximised. I also saw author's message that there are settings for it, but I don't really see anything which I could change there which would fix it. I have default settings.
Thaki Chowdhury 2021-02-04: Awesome extension that I use several times a day.
CJ Harvey 2020-12-04: Brilliant little hack that helped my workflow tremendously!
