I installed and use it for one purpose : present 2 different URL at the same time in meetings. It does it perfectly. I also tried with local computer site (127.0.0.1...)

Doesn't work with local websites, like file:///mywebsite/main_page.htm. There is no reason for this. I have plenty of Chrome extensions that are working with my local website. Also, another website that I wanted to use wouldn't load at all despite it working in another extension called SpiderTab. I even went to google.com first, searched for the website, and clicked the search result link. It refused to load. I suspect that it has something to do with VPNs or whatever.

Works great! Needs improvement where after splitting tabs there is no control over individual tabs and also no option to unsplit the tabs to their original state
