Google Chrome has added a new feature that allows it to split a tab into two parts, allowing the user to view two separate web pages in the same browser window. This feature was first spotted by browser reviewer Leopeva64 via Windows Latest. It’s currently hidden in the latest version of Chrome and cannot be used.
Once available, it looks like it’ll be possible to split a tab into two different display halves by right clicking on it and selecting the “Split Tab with Active Tab” option.
The same feature has previously been seen in Microsoft’s Edge browser where it’s called “Split Screen” and can be activated via the settings in the three-dot menu. In Edge, it’s also possible to right click on a tab and select “Open in Sidebar” to achieve similar functionality.
At this point, it’s unknown when the split tabs might appear in the stable version of Google Chrome.
