ISLAMABAD: Google Chrome is introducing a brand-new feature that is expected to change the way people use the Internet. The feature, named “Split View,” is a means by which the users can open two windows and thus see two separate tabs side by side within one single Chrome window – multitasking becomes very fast and handy.
Android Authority report mentions that the Split View function was experimented with for a few months and is now being changed gradually to users.
By simply stating the case, the function greatly increases the efficiency level of users as one will no longer bother to open two Chrome windows separately. Two tabs can be in operation in one window and can be put side by side, exchanged (left or right), or one can be made bigger or smaller – all these operations can be done in several clicks.
In the past, one would have to use some third-party apps or manually open and adjust two browser windows so as to achieve this kind of multitasking. With the help of this new internal feature of Chrome, it is now much easier for both desktop and mobile users to go through this process.
Steps to Find out if Split View Feature Is Enabled
This new function is not yet fully operational as the upgrade is done gradually. To check if this function is at your disposal:
Open one tab in Chrome.
Right-click the tab and locate “New Split View with Current Tab.”
In case you cannot find it, here is how you can activate this feature manually through Chrome’s experimental settings (flags):
Locate and modify the Chrome address bar to read:
chrome://flags/#side-by-side
The user presses Enter, switches on the Split View option, and then clicks Relaunch so as to restart Chrome.
