Splits the screen and loads all links in the second window

Is this useful? Yes!
You can now browse your favorite website and visit links without losing the main page. No need to use the Back button or open-and-close tabs all the time. This makes browsing websites like Reddit or Wikipedia a thing of pure joy.

- (2021-02-05) Me encanta. Uso mucho los buscadores. Con esta extensión lo que buscas permanece a la izda. y el link que haces clic aparecerá en la media pantalla de la derecha. Muy útil.
- (2020-02-18) Anand INASU CHITTILAPPILLY: absolutely love it. Some times when you start the service, it doesn't snap automatically. Apart from that I love this extension.
- (2019-10-23) Michelle S: I have a love/hate at this extension. I've been using it for a few years, mostly for work things. I want to stop using it though, mainly because of the Resize Actions - glue windows together leaves an unacceptable gap between the windows, and Remember resized dimensions overlays the right window on the edge of the left, partially hiding any scrollbars on the left side 🤬 so then I have to manually windows+arrow to scoot the right window over a bit. THAT SAVES ME NO TIME FFS. I feel like there could be some chrome settings that could affect this and I'd fix that and keep using the extension if I can be bothered to dig around. I'm going to try leaving both of those settings unchecked... I feel like it still doesn't work right if I do that though.
- (2019-09-18) Deborah Hosking: Thought it was going to be just what I needed... until I found out I have to re-set it every time I want to use it.
- (2017-06-07) D Rock: Exactly what I was looking for! No one else has one that works.
- (2016-09-07) STORMY: Didnt work
- (2016-09-03) Muka Tsuku: quick simple returns to full single pane after quitting 2nd pane
- (2016-06-14) Christian Sprenger: Better than others but still, does not work in Full Screen.
- (2016-01-21) Peter Kapitola: Fantastic - this lets me do what I have been wanting to do with Facebook for so long! That is, keep the notifications list open and just review them one by one. No more clicking on the drop-down, scrolling to the right place, trying to work out which is read/unread because of the insanely similar colours Facebook uses for both! My only request would be so that you can change the zoom independently on each window. I'd like the left to be small while the right is large. But that's not a huge issue as I've found a compromise zoom that works for both. Thanks so much :)
- (2016-01-04) Lauren Posival: This is not HELPFUL AT ALL I revise to dowload the viris again!!
- (2015-11-16) modiX: Almost perfect. Sadly cancels full screen of YouTube videos in the second window.
- (2015-10-01) Music z: Helped more than expected.. Thank you so much..
- (2015-07-05) Bro Rat: . I couldn't make it work. . The DataRat .
- (2015-05-08) Harol: No funciona! :_(
- (2015-03-27) Robert Simmons: CONSTANTLY have to reset this in order for it to work right.
- (2015-02-16) Arny Hook: Nejdrive jsem byl nadseny - nove okno se objevovalo v prave pulce monitru. Jenze druhy den se to nejak pomotalo a co dam otevrit pres "NiftySplit", tak se roztahne na cely monitor a ja musim to velke okno rucne zmensit. Divne - jdu hledat jine rozsireni. A nebo toto stare odinstaluju a zkusim znovu... Ale jinak diky vyvojari ;)
- (2014-05-28) Gus: Great! I've been missing this feature ever since switching from Opera
- (2014-04-19) Wow, once I understood how to use the Ctrl and Shift keys to control where the link would open, I fell in love with this extension. Saves me so much time and frustration not having to constantly drag tabs around and rearrange windows. I can concentrate on my work instead. I can't even think of an improvement I would want! Even opens the NiftySplit window on my second monitor where I want it.
- (2014-03-18) Live Long & Prosper: Already, this has changed the way I search. Google search in the left window, all results in the right window. No more back and forth! Thanks for this awesome extension.
- (2014-03-04) Marcel Svoboda: Einfach gut!
- (2014-03-03) Tom Torgersen: Moves the 2 new windows to the primary monitor. :( I'd rather just drag the tabs apart and "throw" them at the walls myself. Same result, but I get to choose the monitor, and it only takes an extra second.
- (2014-03-03) John Mutch: Easy to use and works better than the competition. Believe me when I say use this program first.
- (2013-09-19) Jack Curl: For the five minutes I've used this, I think this extension is, well, nifty. Suggestion: when closing the nifty window, the original window should go back to its original size, not just maximize (I know it's easier, but less useful to the user). Perhaps allow overlapping windows as an option?
- (2013-09-17) Jonathan Sandoval Fonseca: Es la mejor extension que he probado. realmente es super comoda, puedes navegar mas rapido. y sin tanto abrir pestañas y sin perder el hilo de lo que lees es como un lector de feeds a nivel pro xD
- (2013-09-17) Scott Do: Best for my research reading!
- (2013-09-16) Luciano Paciornick: This extension is amazing. Exactly what I needed to make browsing Wikipedia and TV Tropes even more enjoyable! Like some other people have mentioned, it would be nice if it worked with multiple monitors (i.e. putting each window in a different monitor instead of splitting them 50/50 on the same one). Also, it'd be nice if it didn't move the split windows to the primary monitor.
- (2013-09-16) Michael Hocke: Please add support for multiple screens. Right now everything only opens on the first screen even though Chrome was running on the second screen before I invoked NiftySplit. Other than that this is an interesting concept.
- (2013-09-16) David W.: Love this extension. I have dual monitors, and would love if it worked when I moved the second window to my second monitor. Also would like an option to open link in current tab. Win 8, Chrome 29.0.1547.66 m
