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.
