Как выбрать расширение раскладки окон Chrome в 2026: 7 инструментов разделения и плавающих окон
«Разделение экрана» в Chrome Web Store закрывает очень разные продукты: одни рвут вкладки на несколько окон и прижимают их, другие только меняют размер, третьи держат маленькое окно сверху, и почти никто не режет панели внутри одной вкладки. Мы искали в своей базе более чем 20 группами слов, нашли 24 кандидата и разобрали 7 лидеров по пользователям или оценкам с разными подходами — с живыми похвалами, жалобами и советом по сценарию.

Вводные выводы
1. Вводное резюме: как выбирать в этой нише
Сначала самая частая ловушка, затем четыре вывода за 30 секунд.
Сначала: «разделение экрана» — это не «деление внутри одной вкладки»
Это расхождение даёт большинство однозвёздочных отзывов. Кто ставит что-то с именем Split Screen, ждёт вкладку Chrome, разрезанную надвое, как в Vivaldi или Edge. Более 90% продуктов рвут текущие вкладки на несколько настоящих системных окон и прижимают их. На рабочем столе появляются лишние окна, легко потерять группы вкладок и закреплённые вкладки.
1Нужно настоящее деление внутри вкладки
Только PageVS раскладывает панели в одной вкладке (до 36, с синхронизацией прокрутки). Около 3 000 пользователей и мало оценок — попробуйте несколько дней, прежде чем опираться на него.
2Лишние окна допустимы
Если отдельные прижатые окна нормальны, начните с Tab Resize (800 тыс. пользователей, 4,32). Ярлыки и раскладки самые зрелые. Для простого сравнения двух страниц смотрите Dualless (700 тыс.), но следите за риском развала групп вкладок.
3Смотреть, пока работаешь / картинка в картинке
Нужны видео, слайды или торговый график сверху? Always on Top Window (50 тыс. пользователей, 4,78) — самая ясная роль и высшая удовлетворённость в наборе.
4Фронтенд-тесты и точные размеры
Для адаптивных тестов или точного размера на нескольких мониторах берите Window Resizer (700 тыс. пользователей, 4,29 / 2 283 оценки). Был спор про перенаправление поиска — после установки проверьте разрешения.

2. Полный список кандидатов (24 расширений)
Сначала метод поиска и категории, чтобы карта была ясна до выбора.
Мы искали в базе более чем 20 группами слов (split screen, window resize, tile windows, always on top, tab tiler…). После удаления дублей осталось 24 связанных расширения. По реальной работе они делятся на четыре группы.
Рвать на отдельные окнаСамое частое · и больше всего жалоб
Делит текущие вкладки на 2–4 настоящих системных окна и прижимает их. Примеры: Tab Resize, Dualless, Split Screen for Google Chrome, Tile Tabs WE.
Точно менять размер одного окнаДля разработчиков
Страницу не делит. Ставит именно это окно в готовый размер вроде 1920×1080 или вида телефона. Пример: Window Resizer.
Плавающая / всегда сверху панельЛучшая репутация
Делает из вкладки маленькое окно, которое остаётся сверху для видео или графика. Примеры: Always on Top Window, Companion Window.
Настоящие панели внутри вкладкиОчень редко
Без новых окон. Режет ту же вкладку на панели, с необязательной синхронизацией прокрутки. Пример: PageVS.

3. 7 ключевых продуктов по одному
У каждого — цифры, как это на самом деле работает, реальные похвалы и жалобы (с голосами «полезно»), затем кому подходит / на что смотреть.
Как это работает:One click turns the current tabs into 2 / 3 / 4 separate Chrome windows and snaps them to a preset grid. Custom shortcuts and ratios are supported. It is the oldest and most-used tool in the “split into windows” camp.
Highest-voted praise
“perfect app It's great when working. A very helpful item, well thought out and easy to use. Many options and can also create your own user defined shortcuts”
Youssef Habboubi2018-04-26👍 21
“I switched to Vivaldi for a while and was delighted by their use of side panels. This plugin lets me just that and much more.”
Stav Geffen2019-02-10👍 25
Highest-voted complaints
“Creates new window, not split tabs within a window”
Tùng Trần2025-07-27👍 10
“This is not split screen. We know split screen is 2 tabs in a single tab. This only separates into multiple windows making it worse.”
Xenos2024-10-23👍 26
Best for
People who already use several real Chrome windows, have enough screen space, and want keyboard shortcuts to snap a layout.
Watch out
This is not an in-tab split. If extra windows on the desktop bother you, skip it.

Как это работает:Also tears tabs into real windows and snaps them. It has a loyal following in online classes, where teachers compare slides and student video on the same screen.
Praise
“Now I can see both my screen share and my school kids... this work offline”
Oyshie Ashraf2021-02-18👍 13
“Works well for me when working with several students at the same time.”
Carolyn Pirte2024-02-21👍 5
Sharp, repeated complaints
“This is not what we are asking for. Need inside of 1 Window/Tab, 2 or more Pages.”
Nazmul Hossain2024-09-05👍 35
“Why does it need my BROWSING HISTORY ??”
Zackariyya Sattaur2024-06-03👍 21
Same-code note
If you already have Dual Screens for Chrome (50k users), reviews say the code is almost the same. You do not need both.
Watch out
The score is only 3.71, and many people ask why it needs browsing history. For a more stable sibling, start with Tab Resize.
Как это работает:Sold as a “fake dual monitor”: two clicks split the current window, and you can save ratios like 3:7, 5:5, or 7:3.
Praise
“I have tried quite a few apps with this same goal in mind but this is my favorite by far... Another nice tool it has is being able to set tabs it opens when you use a certain ratio”

High-risk complaints (lost tabs)
“All my tab groups and pinned tabs are gone! I uninstalled immediately.”
Ouguiya Treize2025-05-23👍 16
“I had sorted my tabs into tab groups and it removed them all from their groups. 0/10.”
Kelsey Guo2022-08-28👍 9
Best for
Light use: quickly park two pages at 3:7 or 5:5.
High-risk note
Splitting or merging often breaks Tab Groups and drops pinned tabs, with no undo. Heavy tab-group users should be careful.
Как это работает:Saves several complex grid layouts (including URLs) and restores them in one click. IT teams often use it to monitor many pages on a big screen.
Praise
“Finally found an extension to do exactly what I want! You can save layouts with urls and toggle toolbars of each tile.”
Harry Lin2018-09-25👍 5
“We were using this tool for many years to monitor our IT resources on a big TV screen... developer had been supporting us for more than a couple months.”
“I used to use this in Firefox, it would actually tile the tabs inside one same window... this just opens your tabs in separate windows and resizes them side to side.”
HJozuéorch Telmdrassfurion2022-06-06👍 4
Best for
Ops and monitoring work that needs a saved “layout + URLs” combo.
Expectation gap
Chrome’s extension APIs cannot do the old Firefox in-window tiles, so it has to open multiple windows.
Как это работает:Does not split the page. It sets this one window to an exact size (phone / tablet / desktop presets). Developers use it for responsive tests; multi-monitor users use it to park a window precisely.
Developer praise
“allows me to obsessively and precisely arrange windows to maximize the space on my extra-wide screen... primary audience is coders who are testing their responsive websites”
Clint Wrede2013-12-14👍 13
“Must have extension if you have a 4K monitor, or multiple different sized monitors.”
Randy Henry2021-12-14👍 4
Major historical dispute (search redirect)
“Extension works fine, but redirects Google search results to Ecosia without notifying user. Would not install again.”
Past search-redirect controversy — both sides are here
Reports: several high-voted complaints say it quietly sent Google results to Ecosia or Bing. Defense: users such as CJ Winslow say the developer later added a setting to turn that off, and the code is not malware. Advice: after install, check Chrome’s default search engine. If the new-tab page looks wrong, revoke the related permission in extension settings.
Как это работает:Turns the current tab into a freely moved, resized pane that stays on top—built for watching while you work: video, slides, or a trading chart.
High-score praise
“This is perfect alongside ppt slides I'm studying. I have so much more space for content.”
MikeA2025-11-06👍 2
“I am using it for Tradingview chart to be on top of MT5, and wow, works very nice.”

Almost no complaints
“Whaaat?! Google docs puts this app's icon on all our letters when printing!!! Wish I could post an image of it here. Makes no sense, it's ridiculous.”
Longcrest Company2026-07-01
Similar option
Companion Window (30k users, 4.73) is a backup. Some complaints say the icon sometimes does nothing, so it is a bit less stable.
Pick this if
If you only need a small window pinned on top, install this one. Highest satisfaction in the niche.
Как это работает:A different idea from the first six: no new windows. Up to 36 resizable panes live in one tab, with scroll sync, cross-pane highlights, reader mode, and saved layouts. When other extensions get one-star reviews saying “this is what I wanted,” this is the shape they mean.
Still few users, and few ratings
Only about 3,000 users and 16 ratings. We did not find many long reviews when we collected data. It does deliver a true in-tab split, but a small sample is not proof it is flawless. Try it for a few days before you rely on it.
Best for
People who refuse extra Chrome windows and insist on tiling inside one tab.
Performance note
Dozens of panes in one tab will tax CPU and memory. Pages with cross-origin limits may not load.
Общие находки
4. Закономерности между продуктами
После всех семи эти закономерности стоит знать.
1
People mean different things by “split screen” — that is most of the one-star reviews
Most “split screen” extensions actually open several OS windows and snap them. Everyday users hear “split screen” and expect two panes in one tab. That gap shows up again and again in the top complaints for Tab Resize, Split Screen for Google Chrome, and Tile Tabs WE. A true in-tab split is still rare; PageVS is the one doing it here.
2
Split / merge often wipes Tab Groups and pinned tabs
When the browser tears out a new window or merges it back, Chrome Tab Groups and Pinned Tabs are easy to lose. Many high-voted Dualless complaints say one merge scattered every group they had made.
3
Permissions and silent search changes set people off
Users are wary of window managers asking for extra access. Split Screen for Google Chrome was heavily questioned for reading browsing history. Window Resizer has a past dispute about quietly changing the default search engine to Bing or Ecosia. If a tool in this niche starts monetizing, the reaction is loud.
4
Firefox veterans feel the drop
Ports such as Tile Tabs WE often get “it used to tile inside one Firefox window; on Chrome it just opens more windows.” That is a Chrome extension API limit, not a lazy port.
5
Always-on-top tools score much higher than window-splitters
Always on Top Window (4.78) and Companion Window (4.73) sit well above the split-window camp. The promise is simple—“pin one small window on top”—so there is no fight about whether it is an in-tab split, and far fewer complaints.
