Split Screen – Side by Side Chrome extension

This Split Screen extension divides a single browser window into two panes so you can view two sites at the same time, without opening a second Chrome window. It's aimed at traders and multitaskers who need two sources visible together. The catch: it's built around a two-pane layout, so it's less suited to arranging three or more tabs at once.

What Split Screen does

This extension divides your current browser window into two panes, letting you load and view two different websites side by side without opening a second window. It's marketed toward traders and multitaskers who regularly need two sources, like a chart and a news feed, visible at the same time.

Split Screen for trading and multitasking

Because the layout is a simple two-pane split rather than a multi-window tiling system, it suits tasks where you consistently need exactly two things open together, such as monitoring a market while reading updates, or comparing two documents without alt-tabbing between tabs.

Guides featuring Split Screen – Side by Side

Split Screen – Side by Side: FAQs

Is Split Screen - Side by Side free?

The store listing says it offers in-app purchases, so expect a free base with paid extras. The listing we reviewed does not spell out which features cost money, so check before relying on a specific one.

How do I open two sites next to each other?

Click the extension icon to turn on the split view, then load one site in each pane.

Is this Split Screen extension good for trading?

It's marketed toward traders and multitaskers who want two sources, like a chart and a news site, visible at once.

Can I split more than two tabs at once?

It's built around a two-pane layout, so it's designed for two sites at a time rather than tiling several tabs.

Do I end up with an extra Chrome window?

No. It divides your existing window into two panes rather than opening a separate window.

How is this different from the other Split Screen extension?

This one splits one window into two panes. The other Split Screen (ID nfjlcfbnjkbfeoggodncojbdhkmehhbb) turns tabs into separate windows that you tile across monitors and save as layouts. Choose this for a compact two-site view and that one for grids or multiple monitors.

Can I resize the two panes?

The listing points to a two-pane split view; check the extension's own settings for resizing options after installing.

Is Split Screen useful for comparing documents?

Yes, viewing two sites side by side works well for comparing documents, references, or dashboards without switching tabs.

Does Split Screen save my layout?

The listing does not describe a layout-saving feature; it focuses on the two-pane split itself.

Can I load any two sites in Split Screen, or only certain ones?

Any two sites. The layout is a generic two-pane split rather than a template built for particular websites, so you can put a chart in one pane and news, docs, or anything else in the other.
