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.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change
as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
Windows Manager for Google Chrome™ has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
