The Flincth extension splits one tab into panes, with a different site in each. Before a pane can show a site, has to let Flincth display it. This guide covers installing the extension and that one decision.
The extension is a companion to Flincth for Mac, and each works without the other.

tucks new extensions away. Pin Flincth so its popup is one click away:
Allow website access
Installing Flincth gives it access to no website at all. Access is asked for later, and only from your own click.
asks one site at a time. The first time you put a site in a pane, the pane asks Show example.com here?
- Click Allow example.com.
- Confirm in ‘s own prompt.
The site loads in the pane. Each new site asks once. If you’d rather not allow a site, you can still open it in its own window or tab; see When a site won’t show in a pane.
What access is used for, and what it isn’t
- Flincth uses it to show sites inside its own tab. Your ordinary tabs are untouched.
- It never reads cookies, page content, passwords or anything you type into a site. Bundled code inside the panes only keeps track of each pane’s address, so Back and Forward work.
- Flincth collects no data and connects to no server. Your workspaces stay in ‘s local storage on your device.
Some sites still need a normal browser window for sign-in, whatever access you give. When a site won’t show in a pane explains what to do.
Take access back
Revoking unloads the sites in your panes and minimises any attached windows. Your workspaces, layouts and site assignments are kept, ready for when you allow access again.
