joe hahn (ID: 0000000c2c650baf) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/03/2021 It's the only tab merging extension I found which also has the option to exclude the merging of "app" tabs, which makes it the BEST!

John Yoon (ID: 000000245605f3f4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/27/2020 Yes. Now my Jupyter Notebook can live as a seperate app window and ignore all invitations to join.

John Distefano-Bell (ID: 00000094d8f3d767) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/25/2017 It accomplishes everything it claims to do with no downsides. As a dual-monitor user, having a quick access button to automatically pull tabs off a separate browser window onto another window is made hassle-free. Now I don't need to drag every tab individually off one window to another.
