Benefits of Using the Split View Feature in Chrome
The Split View feature offers several significant benefits in real life. Unlike the Windows Snap Layout feature, it not only helps you avoid switching between tabs to access information from one webpage while using another, but it also serves additional important purposes.
For example, platforms like TradingView do not allow you to load two script charts simultaneously in the free version, but the Split View option lets you view both charts together.
