Kesya Reis (ID: 000000d668d78d95) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/25/2023 Very useful! I had to download some other extensions until I finally found the one that suits my needs. Perhaps it would be interesting to be able to define the position of the second new window as well

B Shepard (ID: 000000dd87e2d10c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/09/2021 Thank you!!! I use windows instead of tabs, and chrome's habit of making successive windows open in a smaller size was driving me crazy!
