I've recently been making use of the full-screen mode in various applications to help keep my focus centered on whatever I happen to be doing at the time. To this end I'm using Chrome in full-screen mode as well.
This works great, but I find a lot of screen estate is wasted on my 30inch monitor. I easily have enough room to run two tabs side-by-side.
I did some googling and whilst I found that there are several extension which basically insert HTML frames into a single tab to allow you to browse two sites (not very elegant from what I can see) there is apparantly a built-in feature from Google that lets you do this quite neatly.
See the video here. The trouble is that this doesn't seem to work for me on OS X. I'm using a recent Chromium build so I should have pretty cutting edge code. Does anyone know if there is something I'm missing? Is there a modifier key that needs to be pressed to make this feature work os is it just Windows only for now?
As mentioned, it's a feature of Windows 7. If you really want it on OS X, look into Cinch.
