Detab - Detach new tabs upon creation Extension

This extension will automatically detach tabs upon creation.

You can optionally open new windows in popup mode (hiding all toolbars).

You can also toggle popup mode (i.e. show/hide all toolbars) with Ctrl+Shift+L.

Made with tilling window managers in mind, where tabs can be managed on a window manager level. Chrome tabbing just gets in the way.

Nice side-effect: system-wide searchable tabs (with something like rofi)

Jim O'Brien (ID: 0000005207fd12d6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/11/2018 This is *exactly* what I needed to get Chrome playing nicely inside i3wm. Now, I can have every tab open in a new window, so that I can let my window manager handle it, instead of Chrome.
