Let’s be honest: The web browser is the modern-day operating system for everything from managing spreadsheets to pretending to work while reading tech blogs.

Google knows this. That’s why the Chrome team announced a trio of new productivity features designed for people who basically live inside their browsers. Best of all? They’re actually quite useful.

Here’s what you need to know to get your tab-hoarding, PDF-losing life back in order.

You know the drill. You’re trying to reference a document while writing an email, or maybe you’re watching a tutorial while trying to write code. You end up clicking back and forth between two tabs until your eyes cross.

Enter Split View. It does exactly what it says on the tin: It lets you view two tabs side-by-side in a single window. No more dragging and resizing windows manually like it’s 2004.

The feature is built into Chrome now, creating a single, organized workspace that keeps you focused.

Unfortunately, it’s not super obvious. To enable it, you’ll need to open a new tab, then right-click said tab, and select “Add tab to new split view.”
