Well, it seems like splitting a tab into two is just two tabs: read: we can already have two or more tabs in all modern browsers. But “side by side tabs” describes what is actually happening.
Honestly, this is a difficult one to name. Even though splitting a tab into two isn’t what’s going on, “split tabs” might be the best they can do. It’s just more evidence that this feature is a bit weird, and why it hasn’t been a feature in Firefox, Chrome and Safari yet. Difficult to name succinctly and correctly, and it basically starts doing window management inside of a browser window.
Also, why stop at splitting the tab in half? Lets stack them too and have a quad view with a tab in each quadrant of the main tab.
Edit: ohh, call them Subtabs. And put them in a tab next to normal tabs.
