Chad Muller (ID: 000000dca627f56a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/07/2024 Excellent extension that does exactly what I need it to do. Perfect drop in replacement for xmonad on ChromeOS. The only potential improvement would be to add the keyboard shortcuts from xmonad, but that is not necessary for the extension to work fantastically well. Keep up the good work, Dev! UPDATED 12/1/23: also works gloriously on MacOS. THANKS, DEV! UPDATED 12/4/23: can report that it works fluidly on Windows 10 as well. Great work, DEV! UPDATED 3/29/24: Still an absolute life and time saving extension for Chrome. Using it now in ChromeOS, and it continues to be exactly what is needed to maximize productivity and workflow. Thanks, Dev! UPDATED 6/7/24: I'm back to using ChromeOS, and this extension makes everything just that much better. Keep up the great work, Myster Violets.

Kaiju (ID: 000000f0adfc8160) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/10/2023 For the first time I leave a review in the Chrome Web Store, as the extension is really very useful and works perfectly! ❤️ Thank you, this was sorely missed. I don't like to use i3wm, yabai, etc., because I need tiling only for the browser and that's it.
