Feature Request - Tile Tabs / Tiling Tabs feature from Vivaldi browser
Windows and tabs are no different, they show the same content, they have the same toolbar.
the content is not important, technical, youtube videos or memes on the internet.
more resources? of course not. you normally view 2 pages on 2 different tabs, when you snap them to other parts of the screen, you are still consuming the same amount of resources.
Vivaldi has no magic to show you content of 2 websites without actually consuming the same amount of resources required if you had to open them in 2 tabs. websites can't magically be merged, what happens to their cookies, the security, the isolation that needs to exist between websites so they don't see each other's data!?
Vivaldi still has to render all the Javascript, CSS, HTML and show the web page to you.
the only way that you would consume less amount of resources would be if Vivaldi rendered those web content server side and then stream the results to you in the form of video, that's it.
it's very rare that user would want to scroll 2 pages at the same time. maybe only for comparison purposes. rare use cases like this better come as an extension, and not be included in the browser for everyone to occupy unnecessary space for the majority of users.
I've tried Vivaldi myself, just like Opera is a bloated browser.
I searched for "tile" here to see if someone opened up that feature request. Glad to see it here.
I love Vivaldi's implementation of it. It's superb. It's in the browser, and no need to have other browser windows opened to do this. You just select multiple tabs and click the tile tabs.
In Firefox, you right click somewhere and do a "open in sidebar" and it works now to open it in the same browser window. Resizable, etc.
Edge really needs that. I don't want to snap multiple windows side by side. I want same tab, same browser tiling.
Vivaldi is very feature rich but an ultra-buggy browser that cannot be used for work or any serious usage. Perhaps only for 1 to 5 tabs at a time. Try creating multiple windows temporarily, use it a bit, move tabs around from one window to another, close the browser, re-open the browser, watch your tabs get mixed all over the windows, you'll start losing tabs. That's just one bug out of the 30+ I reported to them in the past years (none fixed because all they care about is adding new broken features rather than test them properly and fix previous bugs and make sure the foundation of the browser is well built).
- I see another way this could be implemented. Edge sidebar should be resizable so you can have 2 websites open in the same tab.
- Is there a current sidebar feature for websites? I don't use Edge too much yet but following its progression closely.

if Edge developers expand this sidebar to 1) let us open links in sidebar and 2) make the sidebar resizable, i believe we all will be happy, because i actually want it to be resizable too to have more flexibility.
it's best to install Edge on your device, use its features and where you see something needs to be done, send feedback using the feedback button on it so that developers will get your feedback directly.
