Vivaldi (and Edge) have this absolutely wonderful capability that allows me to split one tab into two or four at the same time.

At least in my workflow it's quite useful because I usually work with several tabs open and sometimes two related tabs (say, a document I'm reading and a document I'm replying to according to that one), I know that I can perfectly have another Firefox window open next to it and fulfill that function, but I wish I could do it directly from Firefox.

Does anyone know of an add-on that fulfills this purpose? Or maybe a dev who is developing it?

I was looking into this because of the whole WEI thing and Vivaldi being part of the Chromium ecosystem—I found a tiling plugin for the 'fox, but visually, it's not seamless like Vivaldi's.

Each tile still looks like its own window complete with the tab space up top.

FYI, Vivaldi posted their opposition to WEI here. If website operators use the scheme then browsers not implementing it are at a loss. Hopefully every chrome based project (including edge!) is able to remove it so Chrome official is the only one where it works. Starving the approach of participants sounds like the only easy to make it fail.

the only thing google chrome is good for is destroying humanity. everything they do now has an ulterior motive to benefit themselves. just like apple and MS.
