Window Layout Resizer Extension

This extension allows you to adjust the current window layout size to the commonly used sizes (like half, one-third, or quarter window sizes). You can define your own custom layout size from the options page or change the order of items that are shown in the popup window. The extension is compatible with high resolution (HD) (like Retina) displays and handles multiple monitors very well. Also, the layout settings work fine if a monitor is replaced (percentages are stored instead of the absolute values).

This can be used to split your screen into different sections and place different web pages into different areas.

Scott Bram (ID: 000000f7417f3e84) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/20/2021 It does what it says but there's simply no way to create a preset at specific pixel dimensions, even though there's fields right in the options that could support it.

Pong Li (ID: 0000004dc72a5a3d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/08/2020 After installation, needed to restart Chrome to detect the second monitor, but after that works really great.
