Posting this in hopes of raising awareness to the issue (and because it was recently reopened). The sidebar API would help open a new world of useful chrome extensions (especially tab management, such as for instance vertical side tabs). If this is something you want, please show your interest by starring the issue.

- ohaal 12y agoThe Sidebar API is a proposal/concept for adding a sidebar surface to allow chrome extensions an alternative to injecting iframes into pages in order to display something next to a page.
