How to View Two Tabs Side-by-Side in Edge Browser on Windows PC

Do you want to enable and use the split screen feature on the Microsoft Edge browser in Windows? This guide will teach you how to view two tabs side-by-side in the Edge browser.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is developing a brand-new “Split window” feature for Edge that, as the name suggests, enables you to view two tabs in the same window and compare content side by side. The way this function splits the screen to compare websites is somewhat similar to how the Snap Assist feature for Windows 11 operates.

A new “Split window” button will show up next to the address bar after you enable the feature. The page you are reading will split when you click the button, and you can then choose another page to divide the screen.

To make it clear which page is now under focus, the function additionally refreshes the tab aesthetics. You may open the page in a new tab, move between linked and unlinked tabs, or close the current page while in split mode using the controls in the top-right corner of the page. Additionally, you may change the size of the tabs by sliding the gripper in the center to the left or right.

Step 1. Enable the Split Screen Feature on Microsoft Edge

1. Open the Microsoft Edge browser on your computer.

2. In the address bar, enter the following path:

edge://flags/#edge-split-screen

3. Select Enabled next to the Microsoft Edge Split Screen option.

That’s all. These were the steps to view two tabs side-by-side on the Microsoft Edge browser on Windows PC. The split-view feature, which enables users to view windows from many open apps, is already present in Windows and macOS. Although splitting a browser tab screen to see two websites at once is an effective and handy alternative, this capability is still helpful.

Microsoft hasn’t said when the new split screen functionality will be accessible, but Edge Canary users may enable it by selecting the experimental flag. When combined with other cutting-edge Edge capabilities, this function can significantly enhance your browsing.
