Side by Side Tabs (Split View)

ryanjamurphy

Gonna contradict myself now. I tried and tried to get some nice UX solution working for Yannick's approach above, but every solution adds too much friction compared to splitting tabs in other browsers. Right click -> split tab (or some modifier-click) is seamless, quick, and intuitive. And I have found I depend on splitting tabs way more than I'd previously thought — so much that I have stopped using Orion and switched to Zen (because of Arc's impending doom/transition to Dia).

I miss Orion though! So I will cross my fingers that we'll get an Orion-native split tabs feature soon.

BUMP. We need this!

I love using kagi, been using it extensively on vivaldi and then zen. I tried orion brower few months back but didn't commit to it. I downloaded orion agan and the only two things that I would like to be implemented are arc like link bar on the sidebar pannel and split screen tabs. Rest the browser is very fast and energy efficient.

Split screen tabs is a great productivity feature that is missing from Orion, and no, multiple windows is not the same.

I've been trying to come back to Orion but that is definitely stopping me.

I really really missing a Split View, like in arc, zen and other browsers.

Split View is now supported in Chrome (soon to be released on main).

I love how Zen resolved bookmarks tab hiding and split screen is also well implemented, but my heart stays with Orion. I definitely preffer ease of tab management in Orion. But seeing split screen here would be really nice, as it became sort of a standard nowadays.

Yannick Is there any update to this, it's been a while since it was posted

Yannick

Yes. The last 6 months have been dedicated to refactoring and no new features have been added. We hope to be able to implement it in Q1 2026!

I was trying Orion again after switching to Zen a while back. Sadly, came across this not being possible today and back to Zen for now I go! Would absolutely love to see this implemented in Orion, hopefully sooner rather than later. Will keep an eye out and give it another try if/when it happens.

Just returned to using Orion as my main browser now that 1.0 is out. Amazing work ❤️

I'd love to see some sort of split views. I can think of some great use-cases for this when combined with programmable buttons. e.g.

Open URL / "!ai %u" / Open in: Split right

would allow you to start a chat with the current page in context. Lots of other use cases as others have noted.
