Anand INASU CHITTILAPPILLY (ID: 000000ebd895e60b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/18/2020 absolutely love it. Some times when you start the service, it doesn't snap automatically. Apart from that I love this extension.

Michelle S (ID: 000000df608d779d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/23/2019 I have a love/hate at this extension. I've been using it for a few years, mostly for work things. I want to stop using it though, mainly because of the Resize Actions - glue windows together leaves an unacceptable gap between the windows, and Remember resized dimensions overlays the right window on the edge of the left, partially hiding any scrollbars on the left side 🤬 so then I have to manually windows+arrow to scoot the right window over a bit. THAT SAVES ME NO TIME FFS. I feel like there could be some chrome settings that could affect this and I'd fix that and keep using the extension if I can be bothered to dig around. I'm going to try leaving both of those settings unchecked... I feel like it still doesn't work right if I do that though.

Deborah Hosking (ID: 000000c97895d7a8) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/18/2019 Thought it was going to be just what I needed... until I found out I have to re-set it every time I want to use it.
