    Two months after it began testing an experimental “split window” feature for Edge, Microsoft has quietly made it available in the stable version of its web browser.

    Too many tabs open? Now you can have twice as many!

      And how is this better than "CTRL+N" + "Windows+Right" + "Alt+Tab" + "Windows+Left"? I don't need to touch the mouse at any time... Am I seeing it wrong? Or does the pic in the article have not duplicated the address bar? Is the URL going to change depending on which part of the window has the focus?

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        The only "benefit" I can see is that it's all within the same window. Whereas your method creates two windows, and a lot of people seem to be comically incapable of organizing windows on the screen (despite them constantly trying to make it easier). As for the URL, it does show both in my little test, with a pipe separating them in the edit field. Oh, and your method allows navigation between the "tabs", while theirs requires the mouse. (at least for now)

            Woah, I like this. Useful when copying data (payment info) from one form (the one who wants to get paid) to another (my bank). But mostly for answering a long Reddit comment point for point without scrolling up and down many times.

              You'd be better off using two Edge instances for this.

                Lowest common denominator user who runs everything full screen. For those of us who actually use the Windows UI this is worthless.

                  I prefer the split window functionality, Notepad++ spoiled me on that, mostly because I don't like changing focus between two windows or having to manage the windows independently. We'll see how buggy it is.
