WORKING AGAIN!

Matthew “leodee” Davis2025年11月10日

Sadly this extension no longer works since the latest version of Chrome (142.0.7444.135). Chrome crashes as soon as the popup is converted to a TAB. Real shame!

The only one always working now, perfect.

Convert browser pop-up windows into regular tabs and manage link opening behavior

Users who prefer tabs over pop-up windows can force websites to open links in new tabs instead of pop-ups. It also offers a 'Reuse tab' feature to open regular links in the current tab instead of creating new ones.

1. User installs extension. 2. Extension background script listens for new window creation events. 3. When a pop-up window is detected, it moves the tab to the main window. 4. User can configure behavior via popup.html (per-page) or options.html (global settings). 5. Content script can rewrite link targets to open in current tab if 'Reuse tab' is enabled.

Target users: Chrome users who dislike pop-up windows / Users who prefer managing everything in tabs / Productivity-focused users who want streamlined tab behavior

The extension is very small and simple, so analysis is straightforward. No external API calls or complex logic to analyze. The 'pro' keyword in verified_contents.json was correctly identified as non-functional.

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension is completely free with no paid features, subscription prompts, or billing logic. The only keyword match for 'pro' was found in _metadata/verified_contents.json, which is a Chrome Web Store integrity file containing SHA-256 hashes, not a feature flag. No payment platforms or upgrade UI exist in the source.

Confidence: 100
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension is a local Chrome utility that uses chrome.storage.sync for settings. It does not implement any login UI, call authentication APIs, or redirect to a web service requiring an account. It works entirely offline within the browser profile.
