Some site open in a new window that does not have menu bar. Is there a way to overwrite this in Chrome? I want to have access to the full menu and the tab.

On some sites (such as for AnandTech's "Print this article" feature), opening the link using a middle-click creates a new tab as normal.
Alternatively, but this is not automatic, you can right-click on the title bar of one of these new windows and select "Show as tab".
0This is not a Chrome-specific thing it's actually Javascript, which allows specifying the appearance when calling the new browser window. Something to the effect of:
var popup = window.open(');I don't use Chrome, but I've found that in IE, I can usually get away with activating the pop-up and then hitting ctrl-N to open the popped-up window in a New browser window, which will have the location bar, be resizable, etc. I'm pretty sure Chrome uses the same keyboard shortcut.
2I use a simple add-on called Merge Windows in Chrome.
If a popup window decides to have menu bar hidden, I can use the tool to 'pull' that window into the main window with tabs and menu bars available.
