Why it helps

A right-click escape hatch for crowded browser work.

Keep references visible

Pop a page, link, or tab into a separate basic window so it can sit beside your work.

Pull media out cleanly

Open images, video, and audio in a focused window when a full browser tab feels too heavy.

Stay local and simple

The extension uses browser APIs only. There is no tracking, analytics, or data collection.

Supported contexts

Open the web content you already work with.

Open in Basic Window adds one focused action to the places browser context menus already appear, then sends the selected target to a basic popup-style window.

Common flow

Right-click a link, image, tab, frame, or page. Choose the extension action. Keep the result beside your current work.

Privacy

No accounts. No analytics. No collection.
