I only brought up Arc as a good example splits implementation, as a reference. To elaborate on one of earlier messages, I think good comparison are splits in vim and splits in any other text editor, for example vscode. Splits in vim are the main reason I cannot use any other text editor or IDE.

Side by Side Tabs (Split View)

Vlad I just want to comment after reading your response. I did not know that Orion had such a small team and a relatively small user base. To think... despite any shortcomings, I always considered Orion as robust and usable as any of the other browsers. The idea that its resources are constrained is not apparent whatsoever to the average user. Three people? That is incredible.
While I don't have split screen like I asked, I am constantly impressed by so many other elements of the browser. Hats off to you.

Would like to second this request.
Orion is a great browser and I've moved to it as my default, but I've kept Arc purely for this feature and would love to see this implemented at some point.

I'm ditching Arc because of it's incredible power consumption and my M1 Air battery can't handle it anymore. I hate that I've to carry charger with me when I'm going somewhere. So i'm trying out Orion. I would love to see split view as it's one of major features in Arc. How's going with this feature?
RihardsVeters To be expected in the next few months as it is rather popular request.

A sidebar for a website, where you can add any website, including chatgpt, poe, perplexity, etc, but also basically any website - some thing like new AI Sidebar in firefox.
I would use it to open chatgpt or perplexity side by side with my current tab to get context of open website and to quickly get summary, or any question from AI chat. This could be used to open other apps, like youtube, redit or twitter, etc.
Merged 1 post from Sidebar with web apps.

RihardsVeters I know that this seems pretty identical to split view, but I wouldn't call it that way - this is separate feature. This is sticked to sidebar and can be opened at any time, next to any other tab or even split view. So that's separate "browser" tab, just in sidebar.

RihardsVeters Similary to programmable button scripts which shows results in orion sidebar

this app is almost perfect, one more thing i would like to have is split screen. currently Orion supports split screen with another application but however doesn’t support splitscreening two orion tabs.

Does any other browser do this? How does the user activate the feature? What does it look like?
Is this supposed to be for mac, or for ipad? iphones don't have split screen

What is the point of this feature.
The OS does this natively. Implementing inside a browser doesn't add anything infact, now you have a glitchy fullscreen.

The idea is that one tab can have multiple splits, so you could switch between groups of pages open in splits in a single click. OS would require you to change tabs separately in each open window. Its like splits in vim and splits in any other editor
