Since we are on the topic of hackers browsers, does anyone know if Firefox can be made to split pane (both for seeing the same page side by side and also doing it for two different pages)? Having done that with file browsers and IDEs, I wonder how come it wasn't a main feature? Nobody needed to compare pages side by side?
- elashri 3y agoActually the had official extension[1] that did that in the past but I don't remember and can't find why it is no longer available.

- noisy_boy 3y agoThanks - this is useful indeed but it is sort of a hobbled view - I don't have access to the extensions I have installed in the side view. E.g. the main view shows the page in dark mode via dark reader but the side view doesn't have access to the extension so it has white background which is very jarring (better than nothing though). I wish they allowed a full-on split - almost like having two browser windows (with a common menu/bookmarks bar that acts upon the "active" pane).
