    Hmm, I haven't thought of this use-case. I think this could also work if you put the registry entries into HKEY_CURRENT_USER (as opposed to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). If you'd like to ex…

    The uninstall form uses Google Analytics to record answers. I suspect you've configured your browser to block tracking content, which is why it doesn't work for you. Thanks for let…

    Tiny bit of feedback: I recommend changing the word "blacklist" to "denylist".

    I'm assuming by "using the window manager in Linux" you mean you can manually put windows always-on-top. Three reasons this is different: 1. The window is actually not on top of ev…

    I think I see what you mean - do you mean something like what this extension does? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tile-tabs-we/lbnnf... I knew these tiling managers exis…

    I'm aware that Windows User Access Control blocks the Companion installer - sadly I don't have a way to fix this at the moment. I would need to sign the installer exe with a code s…

    I agree - this would be a great addition. I can't justify buying a Mac for this unfortunately. I have https://github.com/tabfloater/tabfloater/issues/189 open in case there are any…

    What OS do you use? In Linux, there is a built in "always-on-top" feature, but on Windows there is not. Also, don't forget you have Smart Positioning :) That feature is pretty powe…

    No, because as soon as you click on "large" browser window, the smaller one will drop to the background immediately. It won't stay on top. You could of course move the window next …

    Do you mean Terraform? If so, then I suppose yes... both resemble a T :) This should be an original logo though - not made by me, but made explicitly for this project by someone.

    Wow I didn't come across this during my research - seems similar to my solution, although TabFloater is a little bit different!

    I am not familiar with that - do you mind opening a GH issue with the details? Thanks!

    Indeed - with this, you can float just about anything :)

    I have the same resolution size :) I agree that the usefulness of this app depends on how you use your browser. I do the exact opposite of you, at any time I have at least 20-30 ta…

    Depends on what you mean. If we are talking about whether or not TabFloater itself can be trusted, then I'm 100% confident since I wrote it :) It's fully open source, the companion…

    Indeed, I did not found this particular thread, but I have come across the fact that it was supported in the past. I guess my solution will also be a bit fragile, but so far, it wo…

    Hello everybody! I created a browser extension called TabFloater, which can replicate the picture-in-picture functionality with any website. It moves a chosen tab into a smaller wi…
