Microsoft Edge browser is testing a new productivity feature that currently allows beta testers in Beta, Dev and Canary channels to enable the “Microsoft Edge split screen” flag, which displays two tabs side-by-side in a single browser window.
While it was always possible to open several Edge windows to view multiple tabs at the same time, however the new split-screen feature will be easier to use, eliminating the need to drag tabs and windows, and also allowing you to resize split tabs and open links side-by-side.
This is not the first time Microsoft has allowed two pages to open in one window, with the recently introduced Edge sidebar allowing users to add and fix websites for quick access.
How to enable Microsoft Edge Split Screen.
Install Microsoft Edge Beta, Dev or Canary.
Go to edge://flags/#edge-split-screen and set the flag to Enabled.
Restart your browser.
Open any web page and click the split screen button on the toolbar. The browser will open a new tab next to the current page.
Alternatively, right-click on any link and choose to open the link in a split-screen window.
You can exit the split screen by clicking the X button (this will close the page) or by pressing the “… ” button and choosing to view the split screen page in both tabs.
