About

Tired of websites opening small, annoying popup windows? Popup to Tab intercepts them and opens the content as a regular tab in your current browser window instead.

How it works:
When a website calls window.open() to create a popup, the extension detects it, moves the page into your active browser window as a new tab, and closes the empty popup shell. Everything happens instantly — you won't even see the popup flash.

Features:
• Converts popup windows to tabs automatically
• One-click toggle to pause and resume
• Lightweight — no content scripts, no page injection, no performance impact
• Works on all websites
• Badge indicator shows ON/OFF status at a glance
• Zero data collection — your browsing stays private

When to pause it:
Some login flows (OAuth, SSO) use popups that need to communicate with the page that opened them. If a login popup doesn't work as expected, click the extension icon and toggle it off temporarily, then re-enable it when you're done.

Permissions needed:
None!
