Description

I prefer not saving window size/position since I may use the same set of tabs for different tasks with different window layouts. However, another option is to save size/position. Add an option to do so, and sensible handling if the user enables and later disables the option. If the option is disabled, should previously-saved windows re-open in their saved locations anyway?

Research direction

Start by locating the existing window size and position save/restore behavior and the user-option handling in the extension. Define how enabling and later disabling the option should treat previously saved locations, then verify both enabled and disabled flows manually in Chrome.
