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.
Nah, you still have TWO symbols. The new non-binary math...
0 + 0 = 0
0 x 0 = 0
0 - 0 = 0
0 / 0 = BOOM!
In 1972 FDC got a few days on it and then we were told to not expect to see it again in the field, so back to slide rules.
I thought edge is now based on chromium. Why doesn’t Chrome have this feature?
Open the first window and then hold down the Windows Key while pressing the Left Arrow. This sets the window to the left side of the monitor, with the right edge of the window down the centerline of the monitor.
You may have to hit Escape if Windows tries to select a different open window that you don't want to use.

I agree. Since there are easy workarounds to get the same results, I wonder that there’s not another motive for this change: i.e., more clicks?
OS systems have been doing that for awhile.
Thakns to Red Badger for the ping!
And “thanks” too!
We had to use pointy sticks for the 1s, and we even had to go out and find our own sticks! For 0s we used round rocks.
Pointed sticks, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for ya!
Yeah? They think this is something special? Well, my Ford Edge allows one Lab to slobber out of three windows at 60mph!
...that is all
..that was a real life insight into the operating mind of aspergers.
...no charge
Still valid though in our new perverse society. If you are a male, than if you are a Man AND a Women you are neither. But if you are a Man OR a Woman you are a Man. Unless you are NOT, in which case you are a Woman. See logical.😂😂😂
“Not sure if it is still used by programmers”
Yes, it is.................
No, we ate the fresh fruit, so needed sticks for code.
Needs to discover multiple tab rows a decade after (legacy) Firefox had them via the much missed TabMixPlus extension. Multiple tab rows as with Firefox hacks is here: https://github.com/Izheil/Quantum-Nox-Firefox-Dark-Full-Theme/tree/master/Multirow%20and%20other%20functions/Multirow%20tabs
Isn’t that special?
Oh boy I can’t wait!
