Docking dragged tabs in new windows has been implemented in the development 2.0 branch. When you drag a tab to certain positions on the monitor, a docking icon will appear. Release the mouse over the docking icon to have the tab snap to the docking position instead of being dropped at the same size as the original window. Docking positions are: Monitor top: make the dropped tab maximized. Monitor left/right: make the dropped tab full-height and half-width, aligned with the monitor edge. Monitor bottom: make the dropped tab full-width and half-height, aligned with the bottom of the monitor. Browser-window left/right: fit the browser window and the dropped tab side-by-side across the screen. Browser-window bottom: fit the browser window and the dropped tab top- to-bottom across the screen.
