Windows Manager for Google Chrome™

Allows to tile Chrome™ windows and emulate workspaces

Windows Manager for Google Chrome™ enhances your browser productivity by allowing seamless organization and management of Chrome™ windows.

Features include multi-monitor support and the ability to emulate up to 9 distinct workspaces, making it easier to separate tasks. The extension provides 8 tiling positions for windows — including four corners and four split-screen options — optimizing screen real estate. It remembers workspace assignments even after system reboots and allows defining custom keyboard shortcuts for swift navigation. Compatible across multiple platforms including ChromeOS, Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Required permissions include displaying notifications for workspace switching alerts and reading browsing history to recover window assignments after restarts. The code is open-source and available on GitLab. This extension empowers users to efficiently manage and tile Chrome™ windows for a better workflow experience.

Love it. Simple and works great. One request: it's hard-coded to always tile the screen exactly in halves. Would be wonderful if, after the user has dragged the tile edges into some other proportion, the move and resize keys respected those edges. Thank you, though, great work.

It's great. Does the job. A few things to make it even better: 1. Allow users to name their workspaces. Instead of "workspace 1", "workspace 2", I'd really like to see them as "debug XXX", "XXX issue work" 2. I think there are some compatibility issue with this extension and multiple screens. When I have 2 screens, sometimes, when I switch workspaces, all windows will squeeze themselves into one screen. This doesn't always happen but I definitely have seen it happen.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Windows Manager for Google Chrome™ requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
