Two tabs side by side without dragging windows
The most visible new feature is split view. Chrome now allows you to display two open tabs side by side directly within a single window, eliminating the need to manually resize windows or use system-wide screen splitting.
An icon has been added to the top bar to activate the mode. After clicking, the user selects two tabs that they want to have displayed simultaneously. Each takes up half of the window and you can work between them normally.
For everyday work, this means, for example, the ability to have a source article open on the left and a document on the right, in which text is written. Or compare two offers, two versions of a contract or two product pages without constantly switching. Until now, something similar could only be achieved using two windows next to each other. The integrated solution is simpler and, most importantly, clearer.

Another change concerns the built-in PDF viewer. It now allows you to highlight text, insert signatures and add notes. This is a significant shift compared to the previous state, when you could only view or download a PDF. If someone needed to sign a document or add a note to it, they had to open it in a separate program. Now, for example, you can open a contract, highlight important passages, add a note to an unclear point and save the document - without having to install another application.

Save to Google Drive without unnecessary steps

PDF documents can now be saved from Chrome save directly to Google Drive without having to download them to your computer and then upload them again cloudu. In addition, a folder called “Saved from” is created in Google Drive. Chrome", where the files saved in this way are automatically sorted. In practice, this means that downloaded documents are not scattered across various folders on the computer, but are immediately available online and synchronized between devices. For users who work mainly in the Google environment, this is a logical connection of services. At the same time, it fits into the company's long-term effort to move as much work as possible to the web environment and cloudu.
