Popout Extension

Popout is a simple extension that allows tabs and web apps to be opened in a separate window with minimal controls. This is different from dragging tabs to a new window because Popup windows do not have to tab view, the address bar, or any buttons. This saves screen space and allows easier navigation to commonly used website and apps.
