Reviews & Comments of Maximize Dragged Tab chrome extension

Loved this app. It has stopped working recently. Probably a change in Chrome broke it.

Works great, TY

It doesn't work at all for me. Macbook Air M1

exactly what I was looking for, too bad it didnt work masOS monterey 12.5.1 (macbook air m1 2021) chrome version104.0.5112.101

Works once in every dozen drags...

Does not work on mac at all (macOS Monterey version 12.4 - Chrome version 103.0.5060.134)

Finally an extension that brings back my favorite Chrome feature. The only issue with this extension is that you if you drag the tab too fast it won't maximize it. You'll get the feel for it once you try it a couple times. Otherwise it works great!

Thank you very much! I got this extension today 6/23/22 and tested several times; it's working great so far. I have google chrome "Version 103.0.5060.53 (Official Build) (64-bit)"... Will update if I have any issues. Google needs to fix/undo this change though. Also, bring back youtube dislike counter ffs.

works great on single tabs I've tested, using Slimjet & Windows 10 x64 Why are Chrome tabs no longer maximized when detached? This is a new behavior in Google Chrome, version 100.0.xxxx.xx and up. The latest versions of Chrome no longer remember the size of your current window when dragging a Chrome tab out of a maximized window. This in turn forces the new tab window to resize itself to the previously sized non-maximized, regular window. This forces you to maximize the new window manually which — we can attest to it! — is be quite a pain if you are a heavy user of Chrome.

Doesn't work.

Doesn't work for me but thanks for the effort.

Not working. On a Mac. Even after holding for 10 seconds.

sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't chrome version 102.0.5005.64 and 102.0.5005.115

The extension seems to work great when using it with a single tab. However, when selecting multiple tabs it does not work.

Thank god for you making this, I dunno why Google removed this function but it was driving me crazy, thank you so much.

Unfortunately it is not working for me. I usually use drag to new window for multiple tabs, and this extension does absolutely nothing for that. Thanks for trying though.

doens't work at all. completely useless

I'm sure this works well for others, but it has done absolutely nothing for me, even after restarting Google Chrome and my entire computer. I think perhaps it's because my computer is a Mac, so perhaps the extension doesn't have Mac compatibility – would love to be able to use this extension properly, so hopefully you can update it for Mac capacity soon!

does not works for me ... on mac...

Sadly doesn't work. MacOS Monterey v12.4 running on an M1 Macbook Pro

Thank you so much, this was a super annoying change.

Doesn't work. Really hoping I can find a fix for this soon!

It doesn't seem to work on mac

2 stars given that this works for others, but for me it is totally nonfunctional. Holding the dragged tab for a few extra seconds doesn't work, unfortunately. Please update this - this feature is one of my most-used in Chrome!

This does not work at all, not sure how anyone got this to work.

This is such a blessing after Google decided to break something that worked just fine. The extension does exactly what it's supposed to and makes using Chrome quite a bit less frustrating. Thank you so much for making it!

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of tabs suddenly dragged out in error and were suddenly restored down. I fear something terrible has happened. - Obi-Wan Chromenobi

Work most of the time. It is true that if I hold on the tag a bit longer it will 100% work, but I personally find it a bit annoying to hold on the tag every time I drag. I hope there can be an option where it will automatically full screen all windows? Since I use Chrome full screen like... 99% of the time anyway. And leave it as an option so people can turn it off.

I usually don't acknowledge but this time. Thanks a lot. This is really helpful...

Thank You

This was one of the many features I didn't even realize I liked until it was gone. Thanks a ton :D

what was google thinking??? amazing! does what it says on the tin!

Thanks very much, saves me minutes per day, hours per week. Shame on Google for once again changing things that are not broken, and making Chrome worse.

My muscle memories made the new Chrome update more difficult to use, but this extension fixed my problem. Thanks, and good work!

Does exactly what you want it to do. Works great!

Thank you so much for this. Taking away maximize tab is one of the most annoying things they've done (along with getting rid of "search by image" context menu option). Chrome developers continue to break their browser. Every single update, they take away integral features and FORCE unproductive, terrible features that require 3 more steps and waste time. They need to get their heads out of the sand. It makes me want to stop using Chrome. Edit: This extension works half of the time, but the other half of the time, does not maximize the window :(

this is a life saviour!!!! saves so much headache after google chrome last update

Works great for a single tab. BUT, can you please make it so that when you dragged out multiple tabs (using shift key) it also maximizes? Old chrome used to do this as well.

Thank You

Initial results are as desired, the dragged tabbed opened maximized. Awesome, again. Thank you for creating this!

You are a bloody legend. Thank you ?

Absolute legend for creating this! Can't believe they've removed the functionality as if nobody used it! It's really affected productivity for those that use multiple browser windows and a large number of tabs. But so glad you gave it back to us!

Thanks for adding this. Thought I was crazy when it stopped working. Works great so far!

Thank you so much. Idk why google keeps removing features that work

it doesn't work for me either :-(, giving it 3 stars to stay neutral.

Works great! A little janky at times but otherwise works well. In an ideal world we wouldn't need this app in the first place though... Darn you google.

Thank you, works like a charm just like it used to work before Google screwed it up!

THANK YOU!!!! I thought my PC was broken, it was soo annoying. Google broke chrome, and didn't leave an option to make it functional in the dev settings. Thanks for restoring our sanity ♥ <3

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't work for me at all, reinstalled it multiple times and closed chrome and reopened too

Great start. Thank you for making this extension. I've noticed that the extension works most of the time, however from time to time when I drag a tab out, the extension will fail to maximize it and just defaults to a standard window, not maximized. I think a change to the code, where instead of the test to check whether a window is maximized is ran just once, it is ran at least 8-10 times to make sure that the window is maximized. with at least a 40ms delay in between checks. This change would ensure with a 8-10 loop that the process is optimal and complete. I hope this helps the developer and the rest of us.

Thanks for making this! Works really well.

Thank you for creating this! It's BS that Google removed this functionality without giving us the ability to manage it.

It's the minor things we take for granted that we miss the most when they are gone, this extention made me whole again.

After Google removed this feature I thought something was wrong with my computer but quickly realized that all of my computers had been impaired in the same way. This fixes that particular impairment and I thank the author of this extension for bringing back some sanity to my workflow.
