Chrome split view "productivity hack"

28 Apr 2026

Earlier this year, I discovered that you can split a Chrome browser window into two. Perhaps it has been there my whole life, (probably!) who knows. :)

I work from one monitor and often I do copy and paste of content from one window to another. I'm sure many may work with data this way, for me it shows up a lot when prepping emails to send out.

I know it's a silly little thing. But it's a silly little thing that brings joy to my day-to-day work life. Maybe it will bring joy to yours too.
