Description

Open the current tab as a popup window.

Visit https://ht0.de/open-as-popup.html for more details about Open-as-Popup.

This is a really simple extension for the Google Chrome browser. It adds a button to the toolbar, a context menu entry and a keyboard shortcut that allows you to move a tab to a new popup window.

A popup window is a window without the navigation and the tab bar, so it will use much less vertical space. Because there is no toolbar visible inside a popup window, you need to use the context menu or the keyboard shortcut to move it back to a normal window if you want to. It will then try to attach it back to the window it earlier was detached from, and if this fails, for example because the window was meanwhile closed, it will attach it to the last focused window.

Great for websites like Youtube Music - will make it look more like an app with a separate YouTube icon in the taskbar. Much less confusing than having Chrome icon with websites hiding inside.

I have two persistent applications that I run for reference. One pulls from a database, the other includes an iframe whose source is a third-party entity. Both work perfectly as a pop-up using this Chrome extension. They are small, unobtrusive, and do not conflict with the main Chrome browser operations. If they were displayed in Chrome browser tabs, even if pulled from the main browser window, there would be problems, as I access Chrome and specific tabs programmatically. All of which is to say that this is an excellent extension. I was using a Firefox pop-up extension but then Firefox started cluttering my workspace with crash report windows. Firefox is now uninstalled. This Chrome extension is here to stay. If all is well after a month I'll make a donation - will be well worth it.
