Tab Resize - split screen layouts is a powerful Chrome extension that simplifies managing your browser tabs by resizing and splitting them across multiple windows. It supports customizable layouts, multiple monitors, and intuitive shortcut keys for quick resizing. Unique features include resizing only highlighted tabs, undoing last resizing, and creating empty tabs to fill layouts.

Unlike other tab management tools, Tab Resize opens each tab in a separate window, avoiding security limitations and allowing full access to extensions within each pane. Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux, it offers flexibility for large monitors and facilitates side-by-side comparisons or productivity setups. Extensive customization, drag-and-drop layout rearrangement, and support for Manifest V3 ensure a seamless user experience.

Top 10 Chrome Extensions for Tab Management in 2025

User reviews

Users appreciate Tab Resize as a straightforward, stable extension that replaces discontinued tools, offering useful shortcut keys and respecting privacy by not requesting extra permissions. It effectively helps manage tabs by splitting them into multiple windows, enhancing workflow efficiency. However, some users find the approach less ideal since it creates separate windows rather than splitting tabs within one, wish for full-screen options within each section, and note occasional shortcut reliability and performance issues. Despite these, the extension is widely regarded as useful and well-designed for everyday multi-tab management.

Pros

Replaces the now defunct Tab Scissors and Tab Glue, effectively bringing back desired split window tab functionality.
Easy to use and stable; works consistently as intended for splitting tabs into multiple windows.
Useful keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Z) for quick resizing, enhancing productivity.
Does not require extra permissions to read screen content, addressing privacy concerns.
Enables quick and convenient multi-window/tab management, saving time and effort.

Cons

Sometimes the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Z) does not work reliably.
Splitting tabs opens multiple windows rather than splitting tabs within a single window, which some users find less effective compared to native OS or other browsers' features.
No option for full screen viewing inside each split window pane, limiting usefulness when watching videos simultaneously.
Performance issues like slower opening of the popup icon and occasional heaviness reported in newer versions.
Does not reorder or organize already opened windows, instead always opens new windows when splitting tabs.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Tab Resize - split screen layouts requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
