haikuo lin (ID: 000000dd3e5a00f4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/15/2023 I advise you to turn on this flag: chrome://flags/#focus-follows-cursor I wish I could have some hotkey to maximize and minimize the focus windows, I also wish I could Drag to change window borders。

Abraham Huitron (ID: 0000008db5551886) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/08/2021 Great application for managing windows in ChromeOS. It took a bit of configuration at first (the shortcut keys in the extension options page) but it was well worth it afterwards.

Khalil Bey (ID: 0000001d67e1249e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/20/2020 This is truly great, though two small bits of feedback keep it from being fabulous: (*) Dragging the final tab of the window into another window often becomes tricky since the remaining windows will resize as the dragged tab attaches to the new window, only to separate again when the windows resize. One fix would be to avoid window resizing when the pointer is performing a drag. (*) docking to an external screen tends to be pain since there's no way to reevaluate screen geometry short of disabling and reenabling the extension. A keyboard shortcut binding to toggle the extension on and off would be extremely useful.
