Google Chrome - Open pop-ups in new tab?

There is the chrome extension One Window.

It is not perfect, as the popup will first be opened and then "transformed" into a tab, which you will see as a flicker. Otherwise it seems to work fine.


There is a 3 step workaround you can do this by

  • You should know when the popup will be opened. Popups are blocked in chrome by default. But chrome will show a popup blocked notification in bottom right corner.
  • click on notification to select always accept popup from this specific site
  • Reload the main (parent) page. This will load the popup in small windows. Right click in titlebar of popup window and select "Show As Tab". Once popup is transformed in a window with tab, you can drag it back to main window.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
