Panels is a cool and relatively new Chrome experiment that allows opening tabs in docked or floating windows outside of Chrome itself.

This extension makes using those panels as simple as possible. You can open any web page as a panel! Panels are great for e.g. watching Netflix while doing other stuff.

Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store.

When done, click the Panel Tabs icon next to the address bar to set it up. Follow the instructions and you’re good to go!

You can also leave a review if you find Panel Tabs useful!

I want this extension to do one thing, but do it well. I’ll consider new features if they...

1. are within the scope of the original idea: opening tabs as panels.
2. solve a real problem that most users might encounter.
3. won’t be distracting.
