Open Chrome Tabs in Splitscreen Mode

Although the latest versions of Windows and macOS have brought native support for custom window formats, they often have scaling issues where the tab does not open properly. If you are on an older version of Windows, then your only option to open tabs in split screen is to manually adjust them in a 50-50 size and snap them. But it’s a multi-step process and can be equally annoying.

We have demonstrated this guide on a Windows computer, but the steps are the same for Mac. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Split Screen for Google Chrome

Split Screen for Google Chrome is a powerful extension that offers you six different layouts to keep multiple Chrome tabs open in an organized manner. We can use the split screen option to open two tabs side by side, but the extension allows up to four tabs. Follow these steps:

1. Download and install the Split Screen for Google Chrome extension.

2. Open any new tab in Chrome and click on the extension.

3. Select the dual-screen layout.

4. The extension will automatically open a new tab and align your existing tab in a perfect split-screen layout.

2. Tab Resize

Tab Resize is a good alternative that offers unique split-screen layouts. In addition to keeping tabs open side-by-side, you can also use this tool to open one tab over another in a stacked format. This will be more useful for writing code, longer paragraphs, etc.

1. Download the Tab Resize extension in your Chrome browser.

2. Open any new tab and activate the extension.

3. Choose an appropriate split-screen layout. You can open two, three, or four tabs at once.

4. Once you confirm your selection, the extension will automatically open new tabs in that specific arrangement.
