After maximizing google chrome:
Why did it shift desktops? Its somewhat irritating when I use multiple desktops and an empty one is created in between. How can I turn this feature off?

3I don't get the problem. When you full-screen an app, it gets its own space. – At0micMutex Oct 31 '16 at 13:51

1Not a duplicate. macOS is functioning as intended, as the answer below explains, unlike the linked question. – tubedogg Nov 01 '16 at 05:52

You're simply confused as how to operate the system properly. When you think you're "maximizing" the window, you're really full-screening the application.
In order to "maximize" the window, you'll need to hold down the Alt-key while clicking the green "+" button in the top left corner of the Chrome window.
You can also maximize windows through other means - such as through an application such as SizeUp! or similar.
