- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 10694000, 4 years agoThis is useless - I have such a large and wide screen, but the extension limits the side view to like 10% of it.
- Rated 4 out of 5by BigWinnz101, 4 years agoI like the add on but one issue I have is when I have instagram.com in the sidebar and am dming someone whenever I hit enter it goes to a new line and doesn't send the message. When i am in normal browser after I hit enter the message sends.

- Rated 3 out of 5by grumpy, 4 years agoThe icon is misleading. I thought it was a means to have a split view, which I would love. By showing the '2nd' window in a side view you cannot compare the two views, since for most sites the phone interface kicks in, due to the prevalent responsive design. (a developer feature - not a user feature - which is quite confusing to most users)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Antimatrix, 4 years agoХорошо бы было если бы в открывающейся вкладке была строка, позволяющая открывать сайты напрямую, а не через журнал.

- Rated 4 out of 5by _L_, 4 years agoGood plugin; really nice to use with Wa, Fa and Telegram. Problems:
1) Missing shortcut to open the last webpage used in "Side View"
2) The size of the sidebar is too small and need to be increased when the plugin is installed - Rated 5 out of 5by bitelse, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16066112, 5 years agoit is great extension. Can not find nothing like that in Chrome
- Rated 1 out of 5by 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 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14266657, 5 years agoVery useful addon but better if it can bookmark the websites for open.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13467846, 5 years agoThis works as advertised. You know how great a complement this statement is in these dark times!
I have two suggestions:
1. As practically all other folks here are demanding, the sidebar must be wider. If this is because Side View uses the built-in side view pane in Firefox, please, if at all possible, implement your own side pane and make it wider.
In case that's possible, why not more than one side panes simutaneously? Keeping two sidebars at each side would be very nice.
2. The Side View icon on the quick menu that appears at the top right corner by default. Currently its only real function is to switch between mobile/desktop view.
Please add that command in the context menus. Currently it has only one item (Open in sidebar), please change it to something like 'Open as Desktop/Mobile Site in sidebar' - so that if you click an empty space or tab, you could also choose how it will load. Then we could unclutter the quick toolbar if we choose to without sacrifice. Keeping track of sidebar-only visit history can be nice to some people, but I find it not very crucial. - Rated 5 out of 5by wrnr, 5 years agovery useful (i like it to keep the todolist or notes in sideview).
wishlist:
+ it would be nice to be able to drag tabs to sideview.
+ and in some cases a second (or even more) sideview can be useful, i.e. to use some columns to compare mobile views of sites or to view trello, notes, mobile site & desktop site together - Rated 5 out of 5by oxle5, 5 years ago
