About Auto Maximize Tab

Chrome released a new version on April 1, 2022 which changed the behavior of dragging out a tab into a new window/monitor. When you drag a tab out into a new window, it stays small and no longer maximizes to fill the screen. This Chrome extension aims to bring back the old behavior. Specifically, this extension does the following: - If the window is maximized, and you drag a tab out into a new window then it'll maximize the new window as well. - If the window was not maximized to begin with, then the new window after dragging out a tab will not be maximized. - Supports dragging out multiple tabs at once. This extension does not require any additional permissions. This extension does not track or store any user data.
