This feature is particularly useful for comparing content side by side without the hassle of navigating between multiple windows. To activate this functionality, head to Settings > Appearance > Toolbar > Split screen.
Once activated, a handy “Split screen” icon appears next to the address bar, enabling a quick transition to a dual-tab interface that enhances multitasking.

After enabling this feature, users can easily click the newly provided button next to the address bar, allowing for a quick setup of side-by-side tabs.

Using the Split Screen Feature
