Description

Splits the screen and loads all links in the second window

Use NiftySplit to split Chrome into two windows. Any link you click in the left window will load in the right window.

Is this useful? Yes!

You can now browse your favorite website and visit links without losing the main page. No need to use the Back button or open-and-close tabs all the time. This makes browsing websites like Reddit or Wikipedia a thing of pure joy.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

absolutely love it. Some times when you start the service, it doesn't snap automatically. Apart from that I love this extension.

I have a love/hate at this extension. I've been using it for a few years, mostly for work things. I want to stop using it though, mainly because of the Resize Actions - glue windows together leaves an unacceptable gap between the windows, and Remember resized dimensions overlays the right window on the edge of the left, partially hiding any scrollbars on the left side 🤬 so then I have to manually windows+arrow to scoot the right window over a bit. THAT SAVES ME NO TIME FFS. I feel like there could be some chrome settings that could affect this and I'd fix that and keep using the extension if I can be bothered to dig around. I'm going to try leaving both of those settings unchecked... I feel like it still doesn't work right if I do that though.
