Microsoft Edge 110browser tests new features: displaying two tabs side by side in one window

CTOnews.com, January 24, Microsoft Edge browser is testing a new productivity feature. Currently testers on Beta, Dev and Canary channels can enable "Microsoft Edge split screen" flag to display two tabs side by side in a browser window.

Although it is always possible to open several Edge windows to view multiple tabs at the same time, the new split screen feature is easier to use without dragging tabs and windows, and you can resize split tabs to open links side by side.

CTOnews.com learned that this is not the first time Microsoft has allowed two pages to be opened in one window, and the recently launched Edge sidebar allows users to add and anchor sites for quick access.

How to enable Microsoft Edge split screen:

Install Microsoft Edge Beta, Dev, or Canary.

Enter edge://flags/#edge-split-screen and set flag to enabled.

Restart the browser.

Open any web page and click the split button on the toolbar. The browser opens a new tab next to the current page.

Alternatively, right-click any link and select to open the link in the splitter window.

You can exit the split by clicking the X button (which closes the page) or press the "." button and choose to view the split page in the two tabs.
