A window-management utility that converts tab sets into multiple separate browser windows to achieve split-screen layouts.
Review-backed pain points
Users report that the extension destroys existing tab groups, creates a 'mess' of multiple windows instead of single-window panes, and consumes excessive memory by opening empty tabs.
