Split Browser: Cool Firefox Extension
« on: July 11, 2008, 11:42 PM »
The Split Browser Firefox extension (by Shimoda Hiroshi) was actually mentioned by dk70 a while ago in a thread on favorite ff extensions.

It's a very cool extension that lets you tile multiple tabs within the firefox window.

I use tabs heavily, and the Tab Mix Plus extension is my daily companion.  I love tabs.  But occasionally you want to put two things side by side or have a few pages open and visible simultaneously.  That's where Split Browser comes in.  Packed with options it lets you split your window into multiple panels, resize and merge them at will.  Very useful and works very well.

Note: there are a few other extensions that do similar things -- I haven't tried them all and for all i know there may be better ones.. Anyone want to chime in.

:Thmbsup: I've tried them all and this is the best. Glad to see they fixed some issues so, I can use it again.

Shimoda Hiroshi has made some cool extensions for Firefox and his site is worth a visit. in fact, he was one of the earliest to come up with an extension to manage Firefox's tabs.  :up:

+1 for Split Browser - I've had it installed for a while now. It's surprisingly easy to use too.
