Why wasn't this in Chrome long ago?

Google Chrome has introduced a new feature that allows users to split their screen for easier navigation between tabs.

Google Chrome has rolled out an update that enables users to split their screen for more efficient navigation. Users can now click the right mouse button on a tab and select the split view option, allowing one tab to be displayed on the left and another on the right. This new feature aims to reduce the inconvenience of frequently switching between tabs by placing them side by side, previously achievable only through specific browser extensions or other browsers like Microsoft Edge and Opera.

In addition to the split view, Chrome has unveiled two other updates aimed at improving user experience with PDF documents. One of these new functionalities allows users to edit documents directly within the browser using a pen tool, eliminating the need to download files to their computers just to make annotations or edits. This shows a significant shift towards making the browser a more versatile and efficient tool for handling various document formats.

These updates highlight Google's commitment to keeping Chrome competitive against other browsers while enhancing usability for its users. The introduction of these features not only streamlines tasks but also positions Chrome as a more comprehensive platform for multitasking, especially for professionals and students who rely heavily on web-based tools and need to manage multiple documents or tabs simultaneously.
