Google Chrome’s New Split View Lets Users View Two Tabs Side by Side

[harlan4096]

Google has officially launched Split View in Chrome, introducing a built-in way to view two web pages side by side within a single browser window. The feature rolled out in February 2026 and is available in Chrome version 145 and later.

Instead of juggling separate windows or constantly switching tabs, Split View creates a tiled layout inside Chrome itself, displaying two pages in equal horizontal halves.

What Chrome Split View Does?



Split View allows users to open two tabs in a single window using a side-by-side layout. Each half behaves like an independent tab, but both remain grouped together for easier multitasking.

The feature works with things like web pages, images, videos, PDFs, and any content viewable in Chrome 

Split View appears in the tab bar as a paired tab grouping, keeping both pages visually linked so you always know which tabs belong together.

How to Open Split View Inside Chrome



There are multiple ways to start using Split View:

Option 1: Right-click a link

Right-click on a link
Select “Open link in Split View”
This opens the new page alongside the current one instantly.

Option 2: Right-click an existing tab

Select “Add tab to new split view”
Choose a second tab to pair with it.

Option 3: Drag a tab

Drag a tab to the left or right side of the window.
Drop it to enter Split View.
