Key notes
Microsoft has some good news for Edge users. Besidesthe new AI-powered Bing that’s being tested, Edge is currently experimenting with a new split-screen feature.
When the feature comes to fruition, you can expect the browser to declutter its user interface by grouping pages into one, letting you pair windows together or place them side-by-side & holding just two windows per tab. With only one address bar and several navigation keys on the screen, the update means a much simpler face for the browser.
Earlier this year, thissplit-screen feature came to Edge Canaryusers before making its way to the stable version.
With that being said, however, it’s safe to say that you can expect to run into some problems. As an experimental functionality in the latest Edge build 110.0.1587.49, some users who’d tried reported that they were not able to drag a tab into another split window and it wasn’t a smooth experience overall.
If you’re still curious, however, read along to find out how you can activate this feature in the meantime, before the rollout of its general availability.
