Webscrapbook version
0.124.0

Chrome version
90.0.4430.93

Problem
Dual monitor, chrome window is in the second monitor. Open scrapbook windows with "open scrapbook" command in the menu, then the scrapbook window is opened on the main monitor.

Expected
The scrapbook windows should appear side by side with Chrome window on the same monitor.

Browser does not support accessing multiple monitors, so technically it's currently only possible to position windows in the main window, AFAIK.

You can use Firefox, which has native support for sidebars, for better multi-monitor support.

I found this chrome extension,
https://github.com/ControlExpert/chrome-multiwindow-positioner
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/multiwindow-positioner

and two related stackoverflow posts.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16363474/window-open-on-a-multi-monitor-dual-monitor-system-where-does-window-pop-up/40768797

This extension can recognize the url of popup window, then put it on specific monitor according to user defined rule. Although it lacks the option to open popup window on the same monitor as main window, it is still useful for me or someone else.

I got the url of scrapbook windows by right-click in the area under titlebar and view source.
