You can either press Shift key while moving windows to temporarily
disable snapping ( key is configurable throught NoSnapKey setting in
feel: NoSnapKey Meta
for example will make it a Meta instead of shift)
Alternatively you can set these in feel :
ScreenEdgeAttraction 0
WindowEdgeAttraction 0
value is measured in pixels and signifies distance from the edge at
which attraction starts working.
