About Pop-up to Tab
Tired of websites hijacking your screen with popup windows? Pop-up to Tab sends them straight to a new tab instead.
No more tiny floating windows cluttering your desktop, stealing focus, or getting lost behind your browser. Every popup lands as a regular tab in the window you're already working in — exactly where you'd expect it.
How it works:
When a website opens a popup, Pop-up to Tab catches it instantly, moves the page into your active browser window as a new tab, and clears away the empty popup shell. It's so fast you won't even see the popup flash.
Why you'll love it:
• Automatic — set it once and forget it. Popups just become tabs.
• One-click toggle — pause and resume from the toolbar anytime.
• Featherweight — no content scripts, no page injection, zero performance hit.
• Works everywhere — every website, every popup.
• At-a-glance status — the toolbar badge shows ON or OFF instantly.
• Truly private — zero data collection, ever.
Need to pause it?
A few login flows (OAuth, SSO) rely on popups that talk back to the page that opened them. If a sign-in popup misbehaves, just click the icon to toggle Pop-up to Tab off, finish logging in, and switch it back on. One click each way.
Privacy you can trust:
Pop-up to Tab asks for exactly one permission:
• "storage" — remembers your ON/OFF preference across browser restarts.
That's the whole list. No host permissions. No access to your page content. No network requests. Nothing leaves your browser.
Reclaim your screen. Install Pop-up to Tab and let popups behave like the tabs they should have been.
