From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been recently forced into a Microsoft only environmental for work and one of the features from edge that I'd like to see in Firefox is the split screen. I know Firefox can do this better as the edge feature is so basic.
Idk why you're downvoted for this. I'd also like to see split tabs in firefox. I do research/writing for a living and having both open in one window would be nice.
Probably because it's not relevant to the original post but I'm happy that it's generated some discussion.
Why not just drag a tab out as a separate window on one side of the screen and the other tab at the other side?
Clicking a button is easier.
Also its more screen space efficient. Two browser windows side by side duplicates the bookmark and url bar squashing it down.
Having both pages next to each other in the same window is very nice and once you get used to it you don't want to go back.
We have splitting in file mangers and it's a loved feature.
Floorp (a firefox fork) has split view as well. (It isn't great but it works)
Might give that a geez and see how it works.
What good is split screen in a browser?
If I want to do two things at once. Splitting the page in the browser looks better and works better than having two browser windows tiled next to each other.
Splitting … a webpage?
To look at two different parts at the same time. Or two different web pages. Both are useful.
Ah, now i get it, thanks.
But rightclick duplicate and in new window works too.
No, different pages.

I don't have much use for it, the way I tile, but I could see it being useful.
