Side|Side Extension

When browsing a page a simple right click (or control + click) will reveal a contextual menu to open the current page within Side by Side.

A discrete options menu is located at the top (or left, depending on orientation) which allows the user to rotate the orientation, flip the position of panes, or add panes.

*Note, this extension relies on iFrames, but not all websites can be loaded via iFrame.

Duc Truong (ID: 000000c50401cf31) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2023 I got the similar issue with everyone else, thus the address bar is blocking the top area that i cannot click on anything at the area.

Ken Ginne (ID: 000000a78984f9cc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2023 This is exact what I have been looking for. I love it, but here are some feed back for you. Chrome Version 118.0.5993.118 (Official Build) (64-bit). Windows 11 Pro Left/right work fantastic. "Open with top/bottom split" doesn't work, It open as left/right. Could you also make it to multiple screen. - 2x2 (4 Screen) - 1 top 2 bottoms - 2 tops 1 bottoms - 1 left 2 rights - 2 lefts 1 right

Taavi Miku (ID: 000000c707e54466) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/16/2023 Not working at all. Opens a new tab with empty left and right pane.

chroend (ID: 000000afdd32116d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/02/2023 Works but is kinda janky, for example on many websites when trying to click on something on the top bar the extension pops its own website address box up and prevents you from doing what you wanted. There is no way to disable this.
