Do not allow popup windows. Open all links in the current window
This extension prevents web pages from opening pop-up windows of any kind. When the extension is enabled, all newly opened windows will get directed to the active window (in the currently active window before this window gets opened). You can toggle the extension on and off from the toolbar button to enable the single-window mode or disable it. When the extension is enabled, all windows are forced to stay in the same active window. So if a website issues a popup window, instead the extension moves the newly created popup window into the active window and then focuses on this newly created window (same as dragging a tab from one window to another window). When the extension is disabled, popup opening is permitted.
Notes:
Even if the extension is enabled, the user can still open new windows using Ctrl + N or Command + N shortcuts. Also from the 3-dot -> New Window menu.
This extension does not intercept incognito (private) windows.
This extension does not intercept extension windows (extensions are still permitted to open. their popup windows).

- (2024-08-26) Angel: An extension that does what it claims to do. Zero issues. Works perfectly. Excellent!
- (2023-11-30) Ehren: The functionality works fine. However, I usually keep three windows open when I shut down. On start up, several tabs are moving to a different window. To confirm it was this extension, I disabled it and restarted and it did not occur. I would be happy to make this a 5 Star Extension if this can be fixed.
- (2023-08-18) Travis: Thank you for this. Makes educational websites so much better. I don't understand why these websites think I want a seperate window, but this fixes it.
- (2022-09-09) Ray: If I can make a suggestion, I think this would be a lot more popular if you redid the description. "Opens new pop up windows as a tab. You can toggle this feature if you'd like." The way it was worded, I at first thought it was either going to block pop ups or open it on the page I was on instead of creating a new tab with the pop up.
