The Zen Browser remains my main driver these days. The Firefox-based open source browser aims to fill the gap Arc has left behind after going all-in on AI only to be acquired by Atlassian. I'm still confused by this deal, but that's for another day.
One of the features I keep using every day is split views. It's such a simple feature, but having two tabs side-by-side makes a huge difference for data-heavy focus work. I'm happy to see that there's finally some innovation coming to Chrome land.
You can turn on the new features using a Chrome flag.
chrome://flags#side-by-side
I tested it and it feels good! No idea when it'll ship in the stable channels, but for now I'm happy it's there!
Update: Nicolas pointed out that Firefox is also working on a new native split view. You can turn on the experimental feature at about:config by turning on browser.
