Tab Scissors
Extension Delisted
This extension is no longer available in the official store. Delisted on 2025-09-17.
This extension splits a window into two at the selected tab.
This simple tab organization tool divides one window into two.
If you have at least two tabs in the selected Chrome window, it will split that window into two smaller side-by-side windows. All the tabs on the left side of the selected tab will stay in the left window, and the rest will move to the window on the right.
It is especially helpful for those who have lots of tabs opened at a time.
This extension works great with Tab Glue (http://bit.ly/WjGnm7), which will glue all those pesky Chrome windows back together.
Version 1.2 Update: You can now also perform a glue or cut using a shortcut specified on the chrome extensions page. Default is Alt+S to cut, Alt+G to glue, Alt+A to glue all (including minimized windows)

Have no idea what the complaints are about. I had opened about 50 pdf tabs open, needed them separated into two 25 tab pdf windows, did the thing perfectly. I use mine side-by-side all the time. Resizing isn't an issue, just slam the window up if you want it fullscreen, to the left or right if you want halfscreen.
AWESOME PEOPLES
I have a MacBook Pro. I clicking alt+s it doesn't work
Why does it need my browsing history? You dont need that in order to split my tabs. Looks fishy.
Instead of splitting tab view, it split the whole Chrome and you end up losing tabs open on the left of current tab because they are opened in a new window. The demo shows current tab only been opened in next window. I had to reopen 5 tabs split to new windows cause there is no option to undo. Just choose to open the tab in a new window, it will do the same without waste of time.
I love it how I can get split screen very easily!!!
MUCHAS GRACIAS ES UN EXCELENTE TRABAJO GRACIAS BUENA IDEA
Useful tool for those who do many searches simultaneously
I love this! It's especially useful during report card writing time. I can have ideas for remarks on one side and my report card template on the other. So useful.
You may not be aware that Chrome has a built-in feature to do what this extension does. Simply click on the starting tab of the ones you want to split off, then shift-click on the last tab of the ones you want to split off. Then all the tabs you want to split off will be selected. Then you just drag-and-drop the selected tabs into another window, or drag into blank space to create a new window. This extension does save a few clicks though.
Great at snipping (which I find useful for when I want to create a new Desktop on OSX, or if my tab divider app crashes and all my tabs reassemble themselves in a single window), but I find that only one of the windows preserves Chrome's application and bookmarks toolbar. Not sure if it's a bug or if there's a setting I can flip to fix this, but it's annoying to have to manually create a new window and drag the tabs back into the new window if I want to e.g. select which folder my new bookmarks are saved in, or use any of my applications with a shortcut.
Great but one of the windows created is missing the extension buttons.
Does exactly what it says it will do. Love it!
Very simple and helpful than any other tab splitter.
nice. have support for my dual monitor setup. it asks for what monitor and what location
Oh sure, it cuts just fine. But it also has a "lump every open tab into one massive window, which is a completely unwanted, obnoxious "feature" that shouldn't be included, or at least should be able to be turned off. No shortcuts, no options to do so, and it activates on ALT+a--y'know, that thing you use in text editors to replace. Unless and until this "glue all" feature is OPTIONAL, this is less than useless--it's actively counter-productive.
Love it but wish they tabs would separate to fit both halves evenly. I always need to adjust it.
A M A Z I N G !
Doesn't work in incognito mode :(
Works perfectly! It is just want I've needed for a long time. Love it! Tab Glue, puts them right back together.
Problem 1: It drives me crazy how the new windows are always half as wide. I understand how that could be useful for someone, but I can't imagine it ever being useful for my purposes. I always have to resize both windows manually. Solution: Add an option to the settings page to either resize or don't resize. Problem 2: You have to either install two extensions or you have to go into settings and change how the button works if you want to both snip and glue. Solution: Add a popup.html menu that appears when you click on the button where you can select snip or glue. To maintain the original use case, add a toggle to your options that enables or disables this popup menu, and set default to false.
Good! Just what I needed.
Exactly what I needed!!
This is very useful. I can watch a podcast on half of my screen while doing work on the other half. I love utilizing this extension both at home and with students at school.
Need just one small addition: option to NOT resize windows. I just need to split out a window of my favorite size.
wonderful tool.Glad to have it. Thank you Google
Very good when you understand how it works
Really easy to use and works very well.
Это расширение просто спасение от переполнения вкладками окна, супер!
Doesn't work when maximised
