A chrome based browser addon to open link on a new/existing window on a different screen/monitor

Question

While opening links in Brave/Chrome there are options to

• Open in new tab
• Open in new window

I would like an option to open in new monitor or screen. I want to open new links on the other screen. This is so I can compare the original page and the newly opened page side by side.

Is there an addon that might do this?

Answer 1

I am not aware of an add on which can do this but I have another suggestion.

If you are using Windows, you can simply move a new window by shortcut. For example to move a window to the right screen press: windows + shift + ➔

So my workflow is Shift + click link: opens new window in chrome. Now hands are already on keyboard and i press the shortcut to move the window.

If you are using a Mac, you may want to consider Rectangle. Rectangle describes itself like this:

Move and resize windows in macOS using keyboard shortcuts or snap areas

Answer 2

So if I got you right, you're looking for an addon that keeps an eye on any changes that happen on a new tab, right? Well, I actually use this cool one called HARPA.AI, which comes with a guide on how to monitor pages https://harpa.ai/guide/monitor-price-drops in new tab. Hope that helps!

Answer 3

The solution I have settled on, uses the least number of keystrokes.

• I have another browser window open on the other monitor
• I grab the link from the current page and drag it to the tab area of this window.
• I can do multiple ones and each one opens a new tab on the other screen.
