Description from store For a more easily readable description please visit: https://github.com/peterdotjs/tab-resize ***** Version 3.0.0 -------------------------- Manifest V3 support added. Major extension overhaul to support manifest guidelines with minimum product changes. Version 2.3.0 -------------------------- Added default shortcut keys for: Ctrl + Shift + Z: Undo Last Resize Ctrl + Shift + 1: 1x1 Resize Ctrl + Shift + 2: 1x2 Resize Ctrl + Shift + 4: 2x2 Resize Can still be changed through shortcut key menu. Version 2.2.0 -------------------------- Added support for shortcut keys and scaled split screen layouts. Version 2.1.1 -------------------------- HIGHLIGHTED TABS NOW CAN BE RESIZED (not only tabs to the right) - when 2 or more tabs are highlighted, only these tabs will be considered for resize. In Chrome, you can select multiple tabs by clicking on tabs while holding down the Ctrl (Command for Mac) key or select a range of tabs by holding down the Shift key and clicking. Version 2.1 -------------------------- Added support for multiple monitors, left and right alignment, empty tab mode, drag and drop to rearrange layouts and highlighted tab mode. Fully supports Windows, Mac and Linux OS. ***** @everyone that's liked it, thanks a lot for the support! I'm really glad you guys found it useful. You're pretty much the motivation continuing to build and improve the extension. =) This extension will not resize within the same tab (multiple panes with only ONE url bar). Other Chrome extensions with multiple panes in one tab have security limitations (i.e. you can't see any https site like Gmail or Facebook). With these types of extensions you also won't be able to access any of your favorite extensions on the individual panes. Tab Resize has none of the limitations listed previously because it splits tabs into separate windows. Thanks for checking it out! =) Cheers, Peter Video DEMO ---------------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFHl98nAV04 If you like it please rate it and if you have any feature requests, questions or bugs you file it here: https://github.com/peterdotjs/tab-resize/issues?state=open What -------- ✓A simple extension designed to provide ease in resizing your tabs. A set of default layouts are provided but you can add and remove from the list of layouts to fit your needs. With multiple monitor support you can move windows from one screen to the next with ease. ✓Has the functionality of Tab Scissors and much much more! Why ------- ✓Manually resizing windows is no fun. ✓You have a very large monitors and have more pixels than you know what do with. ✓Quick side by side comparisons. How it works ------------------- ✓The selected/highlighted tab along with all tabs to the right of it will be considered. Whether you have more or less tabs than are needed the extension will resize only the available tabs. ✓Undo button will undo the previous layout resize. You can only perform undo once at any time. ✓In 'single tab' mode, only the selected/highlighted tab will considered. Only the current window/tab will change in size, all other tabs to the right will be ignored. ✓In 'empty tab' mode, new windows with empty tabs will be created if there are not enough tabs to fill your selected layout. ✓You can select left or right alignment for your resize ✓You can create your own custom layouts within reason and reset to default configurations if desired. Layouts are sorted most recently created on top right. ✓Click and hold on any layout and drag to rearrange order to your liking ✓Highlighted tabs now can be resized - when 2 or more tabs are highlighted, only these tabs will be considered for resize. Credit goes to F.C. for the idea. In Chrome, you can select multiple tabs by clicking on tabs while holding down the Ctrl (Command for Mac) key or select a range of tabs by holding down the Shift key and clicking. Additional Notes ------------------------ Only tab/window id info is being used; browsing activity is not. Tabs and browsing activity access are bundled together. "tabs" permissions is one of the least invasive permissions that are available. Browsing activity you should note is NOT the same as Browsing History. "Browsing activity" means the current tabs that are open not your previously closed tabs. This permission is required because this extension needs to manipulate and move tabs around (an essential feature of this extension) If you feel uncomfortable with this basic permission please don't install it. Giving it a bad review because you don't understand or like the permissions doesn't do anything productive. All my code is open sourced on github (https://github.com/peterdotjs/tab-resize) so feel free to look at how I'm using this permission. It's good to be informed and understand the permissions of any extension you install. For more chrome permission information go here: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/declare_permissions Anonymous usage tracking (# clicks on the different resize options) is used to improve the extension and user experience. You can opt out in the options menu.

(2025-02-14) Adam Newbold: Exactly what I wanted! I appreciate that this extension DOES NOT need extra permissions to read my screen. As someone else mentioned, this is the answer to the old extension "Tab Scissors" - thank you to this current developer for making a replacement!
(2024-12-31) Frank Aalestrup: In my opinion, this split function is missing a significant option. For example, when you divide into 4 windows, you cannot show full screen in each section, for example YouTube it could be nice with a full screen function, when you have to watch video from several sources at once, the Youtube video is accompanied by a lot of "noise" but is fine in full screen, the problem is that if I choose full screen in YouTube it comes up in full screen and the other sections are no longer visible. Can that option be selected so that the full screen function applies to each section and not full screen = the entire monitor.

(2024-10-23) Kent Xenos Trasporto: This is not split screen. We know split screen is 2 tabs in a single tab. This only separtes into multiple windows making it worse. Edge is better
(2024-10-16) Veronica Joyce: love it.
(2024-08-19) Rachele Scaringelli: Replaces the now defunct Tab Scissors and Tab Glue and combines them into one well-designed extension. Thank you for bringing back the functionality I lost when Tab Scissors went away!

(2024-07-08) Liam Lucore: So useful! Being able to hit a 3-key combo and resize the tabs is very convenient. This always does what it should. This is an extension that I will almost certainly always have added. What more can you ask?
(2024-06-21) Doug Eitel: I've used this extension for a long time and found it to be stable and always works as documented. What more can you ask of an extension?
(2024-06-13) Linda: Easy to use and meets all my needs.

(2024-06-10) first last: Excellent extension. Virtually all of my usage is on a 15" laptop screen and I'm on about 2 hours or more per day. I probably use this extension every day on the average. It's quick, simple, WORKS.

(2024-03-02) Enrique Hernandez: Not gonna lie, this is a must have for any students. I can do work and do something else like watching a video at the same time without needing to tab switch and have your browser lag out. Even better, you can open more windows, each displaying something different, and have them open in your format. This made everything easier!
(2024-01-29) Shiva Kumar: ok
(2024-01-25) Stefan Nilles: Was looking for the neat Split Screen feature that Edge has natively. This is no comparison, because you cannot resize 2 windows at once, just by dragging in the center. So the two windows implementation certainly has its drawbacks.
(2023-12-20) Peter Lein: Useful app, does what it's supposed to do.

(2023-06-13) Víðarr Kerr: At least the author explained what this was in a popup before you use it. But, even still, it is misleading; all this does is create a giant mess of open windows that have to be manipulated one at a time, each its own. If you have four tabs open and you want to split in four, you cannot do it. You get 4 tabs in your one, existing window and three new windows with blank tabs. If you go to split two of the new tabs, you get two new tabs and the others are buried. Then, you have to close them All One At A Time. There is also no way to toggle them at once. A GIANT MESS is what you get. Useless.
