- On my Mac.
I like to split my screens
so that I can see two windows side by side,
which is a benefit of using a large monitor.
You can have all that room to work.
On my Mac,
I can hover my mouse
over the green icon next to the app,
and either choose to tile the window
to the left or to the right of the screen.
I can then choose my other app
and look at them side by side.
I really like to do this with two Chrome tabs.
For example, my Google calendar on one side
and my Gmail on the other side.
This becomes a little tricky
because these are in the same app.
So I would have to launch a second window,
copy and paste this URL into the new window.
It's just a little more cumbersome
to tile two Chrome windows.
But there is an extension that will do it for me.
It's called Tab Resize.
And I'm going to show you
how to install it and use it.
Let's start by installing it.
And we do that by clicking the three dots
on the top right-hand side of the Chrome browser,
hover your mouse over more tools
and choose extensions.
Once we're in extensions,
we can access the Google web store.
And we do that by clicking these three lines
over here on the left-hand side
and choosing to open the Chrome web store.
Here's where we can browse existing extensions.
And it's always fun to come in here
and just start searching for things
that bug you about Chrome,
because the odds are good
that somebody else has already solved your problem
and created an extension.
In this case, I know the name of my extension.
It's called Tab Resize.
I'll search and hit the enter key.
And here it is.
I'll click once on it
and then click add to Chrome
on the right hand side.
I need to give it permission.
So I'll click add extension one more time.
And there it is.
I can get this extension on every computer
that I'm signed in with this account
by clicking turn on sync,
but I'll leave it for now
and just click the X to close out of this prompt.
I can make this extension more accessible
by clicking extensions,
and then clicking the push pin icon.
It's going to keep it visible
right on the browser.
Now I'm using Chrome in my day-to-day activities
and I have my Gmail open
and my Google calendar open.
If I want to see these side by side,
I'll click the Tab Resize button.
The first time I use it, I need to click
I understand,
after I read this little brief synopsis
and then some short instructions.
I'll click, let's go.
And here's what Tab Resize looks like.
I can click on some very easy tile scenarios.
For example, if I had four browser tabs open,
I could see them side by side
and on top of each other,
by clicking this button.
I can have them this way or side by side,
I'll click the scenario
and instantly it's going to tab both browsers.
Now I can work back and forth
between the two of them.
When I'm done, and I close out of the tab,
I can drag this back and continue working.
At any time, I can open a new tab
and start all over again.
To get back into extensions at any time,
click the three dots on the top right-hand side,
hover your mouse over more tools
and choose extensions.
Here's our Tab Resize extension,
and any other extension
that we have installed with Chrome.
If I want to temporarily disable it,
I can toggle the switch on or off.
To remove it completely, click the remove button.
So that's Tab Resize.
It can help you work a little bit more quickly
when you're trying to have multiple Chrome tabs,
side-by-side on your Mac.
