The New Hidden Split-Screen Option in Microsoft Edge

In addition to adding Bing Chat to the Edge browser, Microsoft has also included a hidden split-screen mode, which is less noticeable. Microsoft Edge's most recent stable versions offer an experimental feature flag for "Microsoft Edge Split Screen." When clicked, the split toolbar button adds a grid of your open tabs to the main toolbar. The current tab will be moved to the side of your screen when one is selected, taking up the other half.

The center bar may be moved to change the size of each side, and tabs that are divided into two halves have a blue underline on the tab bar. The address bar is also divided in half, however I find that portion to be unstable; this is to be anticipated with features that are currently undergoing development. If you currently use a Windows or Linux desktop with the option to snap windows to a split or grid layout, there isn't much to be excited about here as you can already drag tabs into their own windows, snap one to each side, and move tabs between them as needed. There is, however, one special skill present. One can choose to open links from one half of the page on the other by using the menu that shows when hovering over a split tab (or the right-click menu on a website). That might be helpful if you're scanning a page for the proper link but don't want to constantly switching between tabs or back and forth.

It's unclear if or when Microsoft will make this available to everyone.
