Joseph Videtto asks:
Are there browsers that allow an multi-document sizable window for each ‘tab’ opened ? For example, MS Word will let you have several files open, maximize the Word window, and then individually size and position each (child) file window independently. Is there a browser that allows something similar ? At least, with Chrome, whenever I hit “Ctrl-T” I have to switch between full broswer views by hitting the top of each tab; can’t see mutliple at the same time.
Yes, I know I can open multiple instances of a broswer, but I’m looking for a one-click process to open and position multiple browser windows on my monitor…maybe multiple instances is the easier way to go ?

February 2, 2013Well, all i know is that Chrome can have a dual view, but if you want to open more tab, then I suggest you to go with foxSplitter for firefox.

February 2, 2013I think there are some extensions for this on chrome but I don’t think firefox is having such thing!
Yes, Firefox has it…it’s called Tile Tabs https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tile-tabs/
February 3, 2013Comes in *very* handy when I have to copy & paste things from one tab to another (in a form).

February 2, 2013Just resize the window and use many browsers!
What if I want to use Tab Mix Plus’s “Single Window Mode” to keep everything in tabs (including popups)? Tile Tabs (for Firefox) does a great job, letting me split the browser window in just about any way you can imagine… https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tile-tabs/

February 3, 2013I use Tile Tabs for Friefox.
Friefox? Isnt that a bit like Kentuky Fried Chicken but with a bit more flavour?

February 3, 2013You can’t do this in tabs as such, since by definition only one tab is shown at a time, but you
you can achieve what you want very easily in Opera:
Open your multiple windows and arrange them to your heart’s content. In the menu, choose Tabs and Sessions=>Sessions=>Save this session…, name the session (say “My six windows” and click [OK]
The next time you open Opera, go to Tabs and Sessions=>Sessions=>My Six windows and your six windows will appear in the same size and position as you saved them in.
By the way, “multiple instances” is not really relevant here. All browsers treat tabs as a different way of presenting a window, and use the same amount of memory for tabs as they would for windows. Chrome is unusual, in that each tab or window runs as a separate thread, making it more resilient (one tab/window crashing does not necessarily crash the whole program), but again, there’s no real difference between tabs and windows. In fact, you can drag tabs off the main window to display them as separate windows, and then you can drag them back in. They are simply two presentation options.

February 4, 2013You can view multiple website but it is via windows… you still can have multiple windows instead of multiple tabs..
