I tend to move my tabs around all my monitors frequently. But I also have other applications like Slack or my IDE open covering the whole window. Over a workday, I tend to end up with more than 7-8 open chrome instances simply because it creates a new window when a tab is dropped onto a non-chrome window.

When I drag out a Tab from Chrome and move to a different monitor, I'd like an existing Chrome instance (on that screen) to pop to the foreground and accept the tab, as opposed to creating a new window. Is there an existing feature/plugin for that?

Chrome Tab Manager


Instead of dragging the tab to your other display, use a tab manager to drag the tab between Chrome Windows.

I quickly installed and tested a number of tab managers on your behalf. Of the half dozen I tested, I reccomend Tabli a minimalist and open source product (MIT License) that appears well targeted at your needs.
