Review by Ramouz
Rated 1 out of 5
by Ramouz, 5 years agoI had high hopes for this but in its current state, I rarely use it (and just now disabled it). The limit is absurd (hardly any width).
Firefox needs a split screen mode like Vivaldi, where tabs can be split into 2/3/4 screens. Let's start with 2 for now but allow us to remain in our session and not log us out. Let the page not reload just for opening it in a split view. This actually signs you out of the website (the one in the side view). It reloads the tab when you add it to the side view. It's all over the place when it comes to websites where you're signed in.
It's really a very bad implementation and it's clear that care is not given to this add-on, which is unfortunate.
Allow us to split screen an .html file (that I open from my Desktop, which opens in Firefox) with a on-the-Internet tab.
I really want a real split screen add-on, one that also would let us resize to our heart's content and not be limited as we are now. One that displays the tab without reloading, without signing us out, without a new cookie or whatnot. Look at Vivaldi's Page Tiling and imitate that, that's all!
Edit: Use Tile Tab add-on, it's good enough for now but not like Vivaldi's and Edge's implementation, which are the best.
Edit 2 Sept 2022: This broke Asana and it would get stuck at the Download Asana App rather than log me in to the task view.
Edit: July 2024: I tried it again for 2 months but is still breaks websites and also Temu remains in mobile mode. I couldn't figure it out until I recalled that this is active. Deactivated right away. What a buggy mess! Made by Mozilla themselves too lol. Embarrassing.

- Rated 5 out of 5by gummiost, 23 days agoFinally! I have been waiting for years for the devs to allow unrestricted width of the side view. It was fixed at a ridiculous small width. Why did it take so long!?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Edward Hsieh, a month agoApart from the pop-up URL menu not applying dark mode based on the theme, everything else is great! Moreover, with the new sidebar design, the user experience is close to that of a browser that supports window splitting!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Rey Fox, a month agoI love this extension but I absolutely need a keyboard shortcut! We have Ctrl+B and Ctrl+H but then I am forced to pick the mouse to click for the Side View. Also the page open in sideview do not work as regular pages, and every time you open Side View, the page start from top... would be nice if you are sending a page in Side View, the view being about the same 'height' of contents you reached in your tab.

Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by blueSoda, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by 狄血城, 3 months agoThis is exactly what I need, and now I use this extension almost every day. I have a small suggestion: I need the functionality to reopen the SideView content in a new tab, or the ability to copy the current SideView content URL. Thank you for your contribution.
