window snap

i want to be able to move a window to the top edge of the screen without it snapping into fullscreen mode, how do i turn it off?!

 

Chrome, Snap, 1809 and fullscreen video

I don't know how common this is, but i found a solution to a problem at least some people were having. (Primarily a couple of reports on the Chrome Subreddit, one of which i have answered with the solution)

I thought it might be useful to put the solution here too as a reference for anybody else facing the same issue.

Only affects (as far as i know):

Windows 10 1809, Chromium based Browsers and Windows (Aero) Snap.

The Issue:

'Snap' Browser window to display edge. Go to Youtube etc, and play a video. Go fullscreen. Exit fullscreen. Your Browser window 'grows' in size. Continue to enter and exit fullscreen and the windows grows larger each time. The side that was 'Snapped' to the edge disappears off the display.

The solution:

Turn off Windows Snap (Settings/System/Multitasking) and install AquaSnap. It has a free version which does everything needed here. Under Snap Method select Aquasnap Advanced. Now you have replaced the Windows Snap functionality with something that doesn't break your Chrome Browser!

Bonus: Also Hotkeys for docking windows and 'Magnet' effect.
