Chrome OS may soon let you snap two windows to 2/3 and 1/3 for split view

Google’s Chrome OS has gained tremendous popularity over the past few years, and the OS development team is working hard to make it even more powerful with new features. Google is currently developing new features to improve the slit screen experience on its desktop operating system.

Spotted by Chrome Story, a new commit on Chromium Gerrit suggests that the ability to align two windows to 2/3 and 1/3 for split view is in the works. Currently, ChromeOS allows you to capture two windows of the same size, but this limitation can be frustrating at times. While users will still be limited to snapping to two windows, Google will make things easier for a lot of people by allowing users to snap windows into multiple configurations.

Once the feature goes live for users, your social media feeds will likely take up 1/3 of your screen space, while your work apps will take up 2/3. The new snapping experience is currently hidden behind a flag with the following description:

The capture experience works great on Windows 11 and is certainly better than Chrome OS. The former allows you to capture multiple windows, not just two. To be precise, you can capture up to four windows in a split view screen. Chrome OS has a lot of work to do here to match Windows 11's superior multitasking capabilities.

As of this writing, the feature is not available in any Chrome OS channels. However, the split view improvements are likely to be available to Canary channel users first. Once the company is confident in promoting to more people, users from other channels will have the opportunity to take advantage of it.
