Pop-up blockers prevent `window.open()` to open windows

Most browsers ship with pop-up blockers built-in and will usually only allow a single window to open (or none at all).
Chrome will send out a permission request to the user asking for the "open multiple windows" permission.

The Multi-Screen Placement API looks like possible candidate to fix this issue if its permission query also applies to opening windows, and not just placing them.

navigator.permissions.query({ name: 'window-placement' });

Since this demo relies on browser windows, being able to open them is quite crucial.
