Microsoft has started testing a new split-screen feature for Edge that lets you compare two tabs side by side. The feature was first discovered by Leopeva64-2 on Reddit, and it’s available in an experimental flag in the beta, dev, and canary versions of Microsoft Edge. Once enabled, a new button appears alongside the address bar that lets you split an Edge window into two separate tabs side by side.
While you can already compare tabs next to each other in Windows by dragging a tab and then using built-in Windows split views to place them side by side, it can be fiddly to achieve this unless you drag the tab all the way to the right- or left-hand side of your monitor. This built-in split view in Edge makes it easier in a single click, without having to rearrange your tabs or open up a new window of a browser.

That means you can create multiple split tabs in Edge and navigate through them. You can also pin these side-by-side tabs, duplicate them, or add them to groups just like you would any regular tabs. That makes this feature super useful if you regularly compare documents or webpages.
Vivaldi offers a similar feature with its tab tiling option, which even includes stacking up to four tabs in different layouts inside a single window. Microsoft Edge is limited to just two tabs side by side right now. Microsoft is currently testing this in macOS and Linux, too, offering up a better window management feature for browser tabs outside of just Windows.
Ping!...............
Vivaldi also has a menu bar, which was stupidly removed from Chrome and most of its derivatives. I have a 42” screen, not a 5” phone. I have room for the menu bar.
Vivaldi has been doing this for a long while. Vivaldi is chromium based on Opera.
Doesn’t anybody use Netscape any more?...................🤷♂️.
On election night 1972 a girl I knew asked me if I wanted to split a tab...oh, you’re talking computer stuff, Nevermind!
In 1972, a computer was the size of a 5 star hotel suite, weighed a ton or more, had it’s own air conditioning system, and had memory measured in ‘k’ bits, and you inputted data via keypunch cards.........................
And we programmed in 1s and 0s, and sometimes we didn’t even have the 1s.
I remember being taught Binary Arithmetic in HS and wondered what the hell is this any good for?..................
I preferred Netscape to Internet Explorer, until around version 4.7 it became very buggy.
I liked Firefox until they started their rapid updates every 2 week and killed many handy extensions.
Now, I mostly use Vivaldi and Firefox ESR.
I use Brave....................use to use FF and IE................
There are 10 kinds of people. Those who know binary, and those who don’t.
Now they teach non-binary math.
non-binary math:
0+0=1..................
ISWYDT!...........................
‘Bout damn time.
I actually know what that is!................
We too used the FADAC in Germany, ‘76-’79, a good Spec/4 with a FA slide rule could compute firing data faster than old Freddy.
