interesting idea!) You can add a function to split current tab. So on click extension get current link and initialize app with opened page.

@alexander_ostapenko Interesting, do you propose to add an option in the context menu (on right mouse click) in chrome with which you can save/insert websites in the extension's new tab page? Or did I misunderstand you completely?

User side view:
1. Open some site (e.g. facebook.com)
2. Click on extension icon
3. Window divided on to parts. Left part - facebook, right part empty page.

@alexander_ostapenko Oh, I see. Thank you for clarifying. I will see what I can do about it after I finish testing other users ideas.

@k_ivanow ok, good luck with it ;) I see your extension becoming more popular)
Can you suggest which way of promotion chrome extension seems more productive for you?

@alexander_ostapenko If I have to rate them
#1 - Product Hunt (by far)
#2 - pitching your plugin to tech oriented blogs (after Product Hunt, blogs started writing about it, even without pitching it to them)
#3 - lots of subredits - r/SideProject, r/Chrome, treads in subreddit, for giving mutual feedback, etc.
Reddit allowed to get initial bump in the user count and also, showed pretty well, which part of the plugin weren't perceived the way I thought about them. Things often are not as easily understood by users, as the developer believes them to be.
