Microsoft Edge Is Getting A New Split Screen Feature, But Is It Enough To Make You Switch Browsers? – SlashGear

For people working with large displays and multi-monitor setups, the addition of a tab-splitting feature might not mean much. However, this has been a long sought-after feature amongst people working with single displays or small laptop-sized screens. Currently, users wanting to compare two tabs or windows next to each other need to either manually resize them side by side or use Windows’ own split views feature. Unfortunately, neither of these methods is ideal and both require the user to perform multiple steps.

However, the upcoming Edge feature will let users create a single tab that combines content from the two separate web pages in an easily viewable split format. In addition to creating the split screen, the user can perform various actions with the split tabs, including pinning them as favorites, adding them to tab groups, or even duplicating them.

It is unclear at this time how soon Microsoft intends to bring this feature to the stable version of Microsoft Edge. However, those in a hurry might want to know that the Vivaldi browser already offers this functionality which it calls tab tiling. Additionally, it remains to be seen if adding these features really makes people switch to Edge.
