About NoTabTearing

Is tab detachment annoying for you? Do you accidentally open new windows by clicking a tab for too long too often? This extension prevents you from dragging tabs from one window to another (tab tearing, tab detaching) by putting the tab back where it came from as soon as you pull the tab out of the window.
