@Dezz I know it’s still in Beta and making its way through. Github has an old issue to enable it by default for version 1.75. I’m not sure if that’s the goal for Release?
When I’m looking at what I believe is the main issue for tracking this, they have a lot of things work on yet. You can see it at https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/36986. This will be the one to keep an eye on as an indicator for when it’s authorized and going to be pushed to Release…I think. I could be wrong.
And to give an idea of things they are trying to work on:
Additionally, if you go to brave://flags, search for brave-split-view and check and confirm that this flag is set to Enabled (it should already say Default (Enabled)).
I checked brave://version, but it didn’t display any split view values. However, brave://flags did show the option, and it was disabled by default. After enabling it and relaunching, I was able to use the feature.
Thanks for pointing that out! This raises the question, why did the developers disable such a highly requested feature by default in the Linux nightly build? It seems counterintuitive for a nightly release. Could this have been an oversight that we just happened to catch?
I’m liking this feature so far on Beta. Currently, it is possible to initiate a split view by right-clicking on a link on a website and selecting “open link in split view”, but once the split view is opened, that right-click option disappears and it is not possible to open other links in the right pane in this manner (within the same split view “session”). Is this something that could be considered?
My use case is I have an RSS reader in the left pane and I like to open articles successively in the right pane without having to destroy/create a new split view each time. I’ve found I can drag the link up to the right tab in the tab bar but this feels a little tedious tbh.
