The best popup management extension. Rules can be set for different urls to remember popup sizes between sessions and automate popups and so on.

I currently author the website TechNewsforYou.com ... I consider your browser extension one of the hidden gems in the Chrome Web Store. Very useful application (especially when working on my Chromebook). I did a write up on Popout Plus on the site to encourage you to keep up the development and to spread the word. https://technewsforyou.com/2021/01/12/convert-chrome-browser-tabs-into-popup-groupings-with-popout-plus/

This pop out is great. I love that when I pop out a tab it takes the extensions bar with it. Now my brightness slider extension can be used while watching videos. I've done an extensive search in the Chrome Store and no other pop out includes extensions. I'd love to see a setting to set the size of pop outs and whether it is on top or allowed to be behind. But, doesn't take away the 5 star rating. A++ - KUDOS!
