Microsoft recentlyshipped Edge 119.0.2151.44 to the Stable Channelfor everyone to download. As usual, it features several fixes and improvements.I’m an avid Microsoft Edge userand heavily rely onthe split screen featurefor multitasking. It has redefined my browsing experience since I no longer need to hop across multiple tabs, as It lets me run two web pages under one tab.
The new update brings more improvements to the feature. You’ll no longer need to worry about initiating the process again if you need to restart the browser. Microsoft said, “Now, after the browser is restarted and the previous session is restored, the split tab will also be restored.”
This isn’t the only improvement that has shipped to the feature. In September, Microsoftincorporated a vertical layout option to the split screen featureto enhance user navigation. The company is also testing a new capability to let usersdrag and drop a tab to open it alongside another webpagewithin the split screen feature.
