Would've be nice to make the browser capable to spread out in both monitors. For example, I designed a web app for my company and it's almost like a OS with different apps and all, most apps open in it's own windows. Let say you open a tab then click somewhere in the browser toolbar, extend browser to second screen, then a new slave tab is open and positioned in the next monitor. That way all draggable elements can be dragged from one screen to the other.

It's just a crazy idea I had today. If you select full screen then both tabs cover both screen, independently.

On Windows one can already resize any window to span across more screens.
However, if the screens aren't exactly the same the two parts will have different size so it will not look good.

Hi Tibor, what you say it's true, but if you set to Full Screen will only cover one Monitor.. What I'm proposing is to have a slave tab that full any other screen... and because this can be set as an object you can run as many instances you wanting of this object, depending on how many monitors your using. And because it tab can be assign to an specific monitor it will resize accordingly, even creating a resolution simulation if a person has two resolution running.

I know this is not an essential tool, but for instance, if you are running a Chromium Notebook and wanted to use an extended environment, you can use this tool to expand it to the browser. As I said... just a Crazy Idea.
