To split your Google Chrome browser screen in half, allowing you to view two web pages side-by-side, you can use a Chrome extension designed for this purpose. One way, as shown in the reference, is to use an extension called dualis.
Here's how to install and use this method:
Installing the dualis Chrome Extension
Using a dedicated extension is a simple way to achieve a split-screen view within Google Chrome. The process involves finding the extension in the Chrome Web Store and adding it to your browser.
Follow these steps based on the reference:
- Find the Extension: Locate the dualis extension in the Chrome Web Store.
- Add to Chrome: Click on the "Add to Chrome" button for the dualis extension.
- Confirm Installation: A pop-up window will appear asking for confirmation. Click on the "ADD extension" button in this window.
- Access the Extension: Once installed, you can usually access the extension's features by clicking on the extensions icon (which looks like a puzzle piece) at the top right of your Chrome browser window.
Using the Extension for Split Screen
After installation, the specific steps to activate the split screen will depend on the extension (like dualis). Typically, you would click on the extension's icon and select the desired layout (e.g., 50/50 split, 70/30 split, etc.). The extension then manages opening two tabs or windows side-by-side.
Why Use a Split Screen Extension?
- Multitasking: Easily view two documents, web pages, or applications simultaneously.
- Comparison: Ideal for comparing information from different sources side-by-side.
- Efficiency: Reduces the need to constantly switch between tabs or windows.
By following the installation steps for an extension like dualis, you can effectively split your Google Chrome screen to enhance your browsing and working experience.
