Support Chrome Side Panel feature

[link6155]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is a bit jarring that sometimes the Tabs Aside panel opens as a page but other times it opens as a panel in the current page.

Describe the solution you'd like
Chrome has introduce a side panel feature that can be used by extensions: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/sidePanel/

It would be nice if Tabs Aside opened in the Chrome Side Panel feature instead of trying to overlay over the existing page or open a new tab. This would be more consistent and "native".

Hi Anthony,
Thank you for your feedback!

Yeah, unfortunately there're some pages that Chrome doesn't allow to inject any code into (like settings, start page or extension store), so if you try to open the panel on those pages it will appear in separate tab instead.

This would definitely be nice. I will look into it, although it's quite new feature and it will take some time for developers to incorporate it in their chromium-based browsers
