So you mean dragging a window to the side until it conforms to half the screen? And then doing the same with a second window? Why is that difficult to undo? Just drag the windows again, right?

    On Mac I have everything maximised, so I have to drag the thumbnail on top of another thumbnail, which then splits them unevenly, so I have to fix that, then to undo it you have to understand maximize one half (and to get back to where you started at least) re maximize and drag it back I to it's position. Plus there are the steps to take an existing tab and make it its own window in the first place.

    Compared to like right clicking a tab and "show on the side" or however it will work..

    Oh, you use the strange fullscreen mode. That’s beyond maximizing. And it’s not popular, for good reason.

    You are intentionally making window management more difficult on yourself by treating it like an old school iPad. But that clarifies why you consider it difficult.

    Just for clarity, maximizing a window is scaling it as big as it goes. Putting a window or app into fullscreen mode is different. If the menu bar is hidden, you are not maximizing.

    Once I used the three finger swipe I couldnt go back. Being able to just quickly peek at another full screen app was very useful, now it's just muscle memory (and I hate the wasted screen space on the "large but not maximum" windows)
