      Should be rolled out in Nightly by the end of March. It would’ve been sooner but the desktop implementation didn’t take into consideration mobile.

    Right, maybe I’m not getting it, but why is split view suddenly a browser feature?

    That’s very much the job a window manager should be handling

      People said (and say) the same thing about tabs.

      Who knows, maybe one day window managers will actually solve this.

      I’d guess that especially stacking WM-using people don’t want to launch and position a second window

      The title text of xkcd.com/934/

      It’s fun to watch browsers fumblingly recapitulate the history of window management. Someday we’ll have xmonad as a Firefox extension.

      Maybe related to vertical tabs? With vertical tabs in 2 windows, tab space takes up too much screen space. With horizontal tabs I agree, it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
