Chrome split view: two at a time.
Drag a tab to the edge of the window or right-click it, and two sites sit side by side, one active at a time.
Chrome splits in two. Flincth splits in as many as eight.
Chrome’s built-in split view puts two tabs side by side in one window. Flincth goes further: up to eight sites in panes inside one tab, sized by dragging, saved as workspaces you can name and switch between with one click.
Flincth: several sites, one tab.
Split a single tab into as many as eight panes, put a site in each and drag the dividers to size them. Save it as a workspace and switch between workspaces with a click or a shortcut.

Two is a start.
Chrome’s split view pairs two tabs. Flincth builds the workspace a task needs and keeps it.
| Feature | Flincth | Chrome split view |
|---|---|---|
| More than two sites | Yes. Up to eight panes in one tab | No. Two at most |
| Saved, named workspaces | Yes. Each workspace keeps its sites and pane sizes | No. A split is not saved as a workspace |
| Switch with one click or a shortcut | Yes. Click a workspace or press its shortcut | No. Rebuild the split each time |
| Signed-in sites work | Yes. Sites that need your session open as a window lined up with the pane | Yes. Both are normal tabs |
Split view is built into Google Chrome and needs nothing installed. Microsoft Edge’s split screen likewise shows two sites per tab. Checked on 1 October 2026 against Google’s and Microsoft’s help pages.
Why people add Flincth to Chrome.
Two sites cover a quick comparison. Most tasks need three or four, the same ones every time.
Everything for a task, in one tab
Dashboard, document, chat and video side by side, in panes you size yourself. One tab to keep, not a stack of windows to line up.
A workspace for each kind of work
Save the sites and the split for each job, and switch between them with a click or a shortcut you choose.
Signed-in sites still work
A site that needs your session, or refuses to be shown in a pane, runs as a real browser window lined up with its pane.
Nothing leaves your browser
No account, no analytics and no network requests of its own. Workspaces are stored in your browser, and site access is asked for one site at a time.
Only need two tabs side by side now and then? Chrome’s split view is right there. Flincth is for the tasks that need more sites, saved and ready to switch to.
Good questions.
Doesn’t Chrome already have split screen?+
Chrome’s split view shows two tabs side by side in one window. Flincth fits up to eight sites into one tab and saves each arrangement as a named workspace you can switch back to.
Does Flincth work in Microsoft Edge too?+
Yes. Flincth is on Microsoft Edge Add-ons as well as the Chrome Web Store, and does the same thing in both.
Why does a site sometimes open as a window instead of a pane?+
Some sites refuse to be shown inside another page, and a site in a pane does not see your signed-in session. For those, Flincth opens a real browser window and keeps it lined up with the pane, so the site works exactly as it does in a normal tab.
What does Flincth ask permission for?+
Nothing when you install it. When you put a site in a pane, your browser asks for access to that one site, and only then. Every site you have allowed is listed in Flincth’s settings and can be removed there.
Does Flincth collect any data?+
No. Your workspaces are stored in your browser on your own device. Flincth has no account, no analytics and makes no network requests of its own.
The whole task, in one tab.
Split it, save it, switch with a click.
