How is this any different than just having multiple windows open? Maybe a slight performance savings over running 2 different processes but I can't immagine that amounts to much.

In contrast to the downers, I'll really like this. Dual monitors with a terminal or whatever on one and now I can have two tabs easily visible without much work on the one screen. I'll take it.

Def can use this while running my dnd games
So they added this feature to desktop, but as far as I can tell not to mobile, where it would be genuinely useful? Especially in the age of folding phones.

So amazing. So beautiful. So... what?

This is great to see. I used this feature when I had Zen browser installed. What this really solves for me is the pain of using two Firefox windows side-by-side with vertical tabs. Every time I move my cursor from the right window to the left, the tab bar opens and stays open. This would solve that problem. It also saves the small cognitive load required to open another tab and move it into split view on whichever OS I happen to be using in that moment
I've been using it for a month, I really like it. It's a feature I remember fondly of when I used Vivaldi like 8/10 years ago. I hope the released implementation includes an "open in split view" contextual option on links
This is the main reason I've been using Zen browser

Do people really not remember Opera Unite and their Split Tab thingy?
Welcome to 2019.
Uhg this shit is so annoying it's hard enough to use a funky mini keyboard as it is I kept trying to move a tab and fucking it would go split screen. CONSENT FUCK EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION FUCK ME IM ASKING TOO MUCH
KDE's Konqueror had this, what, 2 decades ago??
Something like that..
I cannot understand why Mozilla has prevented required-features, & obliterated already-implimented required-features ( like the ability to backup one's bookmarks without storing them in Mozilla's "Sync" .. for people who no longer default to trusting Mozilla, like me ), so consistently for so many decades.
Too little too late, to save Mozilla's relevance, especially after they gutted their programming-teams, in the past weeks, from what I'd read ( called-out as intentional sabotage, by others, explicitly ).

We're all infuriated by recent mozilla doings regarding firefox, but come on, people, this time it's a nice feature added.
isn't this the role of the window manager/OS? not sure why a browser needs to have it...
i guess it could be useful on android where the OS doesn't provide necessary features but not really on normal desktops..
the Zen implementation allows me to just drag one tab on top of the other, which is much more user friendly
