Description from store

With Flobro you can add a browser window to your screen that floats on top, so you can work or game and watch at the same time.
Flobro is distraction free, so no browser interface bugging on top.

Jeremy Rivera 2023-05-12: No longer supported by 2023 Chrome :(. Please update this would fix the last of my chrome issues
Pedro Santos 2023-02-13: it works really well for having a popup browser without the tabs and quit buttons. But the pin part doesnt work everytime. I'm using this with the help of windows power toys, so it is always on top. The only problem is that it seems to stop being compatible with chrome in december 2023
Alyssa Hayes 2023-01-26: Please update! No longer works with 2023 Chrome. Would love to be able to use it.
Allen Rubel 2022-11-01: AMAZING APP, Does everything I was searching for! Please update it if you can! I would be soooo grateful!
Erik Jönsson 2022-10-19: Extremely helpful. Please update!
Vinay Bharambe 2022-10-05: Hello Martijn, I don't know if you are aware about this ? But this app is awesome... Hope this app will continue to support on Chrome store, because I saw a popup from chrome saying old apps will be discontinued from December 2022...
Anton Korotkov 2022-03-19: Very good. The only flaw I found and most people would not notice: the page is open from the browser cache and you cannot refresh it, it always comes from the cache. The page in Flobro window would not accept any clicks until you focus on Flobro window. So, every click must be made twice (which is absolutely not obvious on touch screens). PS I need refresh because I develop smart home page for my self and see the result after the page code has been modified.
Alec’s Apps 2021-10-17: Literally the ONLY solution to pin (at least a browser) window on top of other windows with any recent macOS. Just spent 2 hours trying to find any alternatives to "Afloat" that would be compatible on big sur or later, but not only has Afloat not been updated in 6 years it also requires you to disable SIP. My specific reason I need an app that allowed me to pin windows is so I could watch youtube and twitch on chrome with live captions enabled and multitask on other apps. While there were some alternative solutions to my specific situation, none of them allowed me to use Chrome so I could take advantage of Chrome's Live Captions and instead had an independent app that allowed it to be pinned on top of other windows. This app does EXACTLY what I need and allows me to take advantage of Chrome's native Live Captions as well. Thank you for putting an end to the very frustratingly stressful last two hours lol
tik man choi 2021-10-09: doesnt work!! rubbish
Denise Martin 2021-09-21: This is buggy or clunky. The window is hard to re-size, the header bar keeps flashing up and down, and it's impossible to move to a different place on the screen. Except when it suddenly decides to work. And then goes back to being clunky. Also you can only save one URL. Being able to choose between a handful of favorites would make this more useful.
Jonathan Ortiz 2021-09-18: Once you install this. You can't uninstall it.
Victor “azcoyotedog” Alexander 2021-09-17: Way too many redirects and the Ad Blockers Extensions already installed don't stop them!
Alyssa Layton 2021-07-14: I really like this app. I just wish that when you have the "Fit webview when title bar appears" option turned on, it would stop shifting the page up and down. If I disable the setting, then the title bar cuts off the top of the page.
T Starfish 2021-06-03: No reload the page shortcut
Ali Abdul Hafiz 2021-03-28: Great extension, Just Love it! I wish it had one for Mozilla Browser too. Anyway, I use the chrome and it works perfectly on Mozilla/FireFox browser. Thank you
old leaf 2021-02-23: There is no way to launch this app once installed.
John Loper 2020-12-25: Works great when it wants to stay on top of other windows. Randomly will stop staying on top.
Simfoninis Orkestras 2020-12-17: Would be nice if there will be option to change the opacity and turn off show 'title bar' on mouse move over window function.
Julie Stewart 2020-12-02: This is exactly what I was looking for. It works perfectly on my Chromebook and my Android phone - it does what it says on the box. Also it doesn't annoyingly ask for permissions. Thank you.
J 2020-11-27: Loved it so much. Thanks a lot whomever creating this.
Caoimhe Hughes 2020-11-25: Why do people say this works??? The bar appears at the top so I can't access the tools on the remote viewing screen and it keeps jumping around. Why can't you lock the gray bar out of the way? What is the point of it disappearing if it reappears ever time I move my mouse???
Brooklyn Gose 2020-11-24: This app used to be great but they recently changed some things and now its annoying af
Douglas Pyle 2020-11-13: Thanks for making this, but I wanted to remove the tab/address/toolbar in Chrome so I could take a perfect window screenshot, but that requires hovering, which shows the Flobro toolbar at the top of the window again...Great.
O DM 2020-10-31: Would be great to start multiple instances of Flobro e.g. when working in 2 different web apps (say Google sheets and google docs) it allows maximizing both windows side by side using Flobro. At the moment not possible which drastically limits the utility of the tool
Laila Sriwahyuni 2020-10-20: I love it, it's very helpful, tks alot
Sam 2020-10-14: the content of the page keeps moving up and down automatically. It's very annoying.
BIOS-Pherecydes 2020-10-01: Doesn't do anything. It installs an app that doesn't open. Waste of time.
Andris Kardos 2020-09-21: Great little tool. A "home" button would be a welcome addition tough.
Melody Queen 2020-09-08: Absolutely love this app, does exactly what it says. Always on top window with minimal space used for header information. Opacity is an option with other AoT solutions, it would be nice to see it here, as well as some frame customization. It would be nice to have a circular window sometimes, or feathered edges. Thank you so much for this, you make my life easier every day
ayaan 2020-09-08: EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thanks a lot for creating such an amazing extension :)
Daniel Kelly 2020-09-04: The developer still makes updates, even years after the release! Awesome guy and an awesome app. Checkout the GitHub page to see what's changed
nishi 2020-08-25: Missing darkmode! Dark Reader would fit perfectly into this project!
jo cloud 2020-08-18: great,need a back button or shortcut like backspace= previous page. I use it for searching google and work alongside.
Una Kapunan 2020-08-06: Been look for an app like this for a looong time. Thank you so much!
Sergio Arboleda 2020-08-02: It works, but the button to pin and unpin the window, does not works. the window it's always on top of everything.
Ryan Shippen 2020-07-29: Works like a charm. I will update if anything changes. I use it for reading gaming information online while playing PC games like World of Warcraft simultaneously. Exactly what I was looking for.
Jason Tomerlin 2020-07-16: Exactly what i wanted! Watch a video while working and not have to touch the chrome window every time to refocus.
Kenny 2020-07-03: Works well for a short amount of time. After a while, the always on top function just disappears and I have to uninstall then reinstall it again to get it working.
BESTINHA GAMER 2020-04-01: use the app for almost 4 months, and the only thing missing from being perfect is having these options! click throug and alwais on top and tranparent opacity !
carlos figueroa 2020-03-29: This extension is so helpful and works like a charm!
AEAEAEA͎EAEA͎EAEA͎EAEA͎EAEA͎EAEA͎E NEOEO͎EOEOEO 2020-03-20: I wish I could use it in combination with an adblock ;( I have to watch so many ads probably going to just use the normal window now
Edwin Chua 2020-02-25: I use this to watch my shows on Netflix & Plex while I game. Thank you for this! I do wish there was a easy way to launch this app (from Chrome, maybe?). I currently pin it to my taskbar, so it's a non-issue though. One bug(?) I found is that Facebook Auth opens in Chrome, but the callback isn't passed back to Flobro, which means I can't sign in the some sites that way (eg. Plex).
Gergely Csikvári 2020-02-12: Perfectly fits for me listening on Spotify web player!
Patryk Lesiecki (LosTigeros) 2020-02-06: Doesn't work with local files
Ryan Sullivan 2020-01-27: Stopped working in latest version of Chrome
Shashidhar Kumar 2019-12-27: It is not floating on top of other windows currently, on Windows-10 operating system. Is there anyway it could be made on top of other windows.
Kaj Maney 2019-12-20: Finally what I had been looking for...the perfect way to launch Plex. Scales and handles dual monitors way better than the native app. Thank you
Kitty Kennard (Kittyarts) 2019-11-28: Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Zoom doesn't work anymore for some reason, so I can't use it on crunchyroll (cntl+ / cntl- don't work. or cntl/scroll) ..... most keyboard shortcuts never worked. no back button. honestly, an irratating app, but the only one that works on sites besides youtube.
Aaron Henson 2019-09-19: Fantastic. Would be the perfect extension for me for dashboard if I could get multiple instances to run. Paired with Display Fusion to control the screen splits, this is lovely.
Seth Yellin 2019-09-15: Hi. It's a great concept for office work and such. You cannot right-click stuff though. In my case, to right-click to copy and then paste into Excel or whatnot. ;p :/
