Chrome Transparency Controller
by Stackdrop • Version 1.0
Make Chrome browser windows transparent so you can see through to other applications. Perfect for watching videos while working on other tasks. This free Windows tool allows you to make Chrome windows transparent with adjustable opacity, and optionally keep Chrome on top so you can see through to applications like Cursor, VS Code, or any other app behind Chrome.
See It In Action
Example: Chrome window with YouTube video made transparent, allowing you to see through to MS Paint and other applications behind it. The Chrome Transparency Controller (shown in the overlay) lets you adjust opacity in real-time while working.
Gaming example: Watch a YouTube video in a transparent Chrome overlay while waiting in a W3Champions lobby. Keep Chrome on top at 72% opacity with click-through enabled so you can still interact with the game behind it.
