Tab tiling in browsers (lemmy.ml)

Hello! I just learned/found out you can tile tabs or split the screen in two browsers. The first browser is Vivaldi, which has tab tiling. You hold down the control button, select which tabs you'd like to tile, then right click and select tile tabs.

The second browser, that can do this (afaik, maybe there's more browsers) is Zen browser! I was not aware Zen could do this, until I did the same method in Zen as in Vivaldi. Just hold down control and select the tabs, and you can then split the tabs. Zen has the ability to split multiple tabs. Vivaldi probably does, but I only needed two. Anyways, give Zen and Vivaldi a try for tab tiling.

Do you use tab tiling? What's your opinion?

I use tiling window management (on Linux) and can just detach a tab from a browser to get a second auto tiled window. So it's useless for me.

I think, most OSes also come with basic tiling for some time now, e.g. in older Windows you can secondary click the taskbar to arrange and in newer ones, you drag a window to a side of the screen to start tiling mode. There are extensions for Gnome (which is common as Ubuntu uses it per default) to do it as well (one such extension is Forge). And for wayland, there's the very unintuitive Hyprland, which doesn't had title bars, when I last used it. And for X there's things like "notion" (which has title bars btw), if you don't want Gnome or whatever kids use these days.

I know people aren't a fan of Arc browser, but I was using it last night, and if you have a video playing and switch to a different tab, it goes into picture in picture, so you can browse one website and the video is in a tiny box in the corner. That's pretty cool imo.
