I'll second what another reviewer mentioned, i.e. that it works, however, the instructions are not only poor but also unintuitive. The gist is that Shift+Alt+D opens the extension, from which point you can move the open window to the next virtual desktop. To actually switch between desktops, it's Shift+Alt+D to activate the extension, then with no hotkeys/modifiers press Left or Right to switch. The provided instructions suggest you'd need a modifier to switch even after activating the extension, but that's decidedly not the case. From a functionality point of view, it would be good to also have some sort of expose-style view that provides an overview of what's open on each desktop (similar to what's available in macOS or Windows 10), but I also understand that's asking a lot of a free extension - especially one that seems like it will be obsolete by the end of the year as multi-desktop support is already in beta channels of Chrome OS and Chrome.
