Carlo Crescimbeni (ID: 000000f32f969507) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/02/2021 First of all, thank you and congratulations for your great Chrome tool MultiWindow Positioner!… I'm working on a kiosks for a small museum. These totem are composed by two monitor; a touch screen for selection with big buttons interface and a TV screen 55" for viewing multimedia contributions. Is all html5, working on chrome browser, and with your fantastic extension I can open all the video, animations and other media on the 55 TV that the user select on touch screen. The problem is that all the tabs open on 55 in fullscreen remains open and after a little time of utilization there are a lot of it one above the other… There is a solution for this? Like auto-close tabs on 55” when a new one is open? Can you help me, please? Thank you!

(ID: ) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/02/2019 A total lifesaver! Using it for a call center with dual-screen stations where we needed to force our "preview" pop to the secondary screen. Works like a charm!

Lubor Černý (ID: 0000003f4dd69114) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/24/2019 BEAUTIFUL DYNAMIC LAYOUTS EASILY! MultiWindow Positioner let you open multiple pages at once in desired window layout,only by clicking on bookmarks folder. No need to extra actions, like click on icon in bar or manage each layout separetly. ONLY ONE USEFUL EXTENSION IN PRACTICE. Other window positioners, separators and layout managers are not useful in practice, I tested all of them ;)
