  Slime

Slime is a chrome extension that allows you to stick any of your tabs on top! That means no matter what you're doing, you'll always be able to see your sticked tab on top. No need to split-screen or constantly alt-tab c:

Add it to your browser here!

Cool! How do I get started?

This extension is now available on the Chrome Web Store, check it out!


How do I use it?

Once the extension is installed, you can stick any tab by clicking the extension's icon on your browser bar, or by using the hot-key. By default, the hot-key should be CMD/CTRL + SHIFT + Y, but Chrome may change this to avoid interference with other hotkeys. If you want to check or change it, just head to chrome://extensions/configureCommands!


Known Limitations

  1. The sticked tab is not interactable. If you are looking for an interactable tab that stays on top, check out Pennywise. Pennywise is not a chrome extension, but is instead a separate application, and has its own limitations (that eventually brought me to make Slime). I'm unaware of a way to surpass this limitation on a chrome extension, but if you do, feel free to create an issue to let me know!

  2. Videos do not embed, which is fine for video sites that are already full screen (like Netflix). This may be something I will add support for in the future, so keep your eyes peeled for it!
