It also comes with multi-monitor support, and other features like shift-click to open links in the left-hand window, customizable window position, and support for Incognito windows.

Wow, once I understood how to use the Ctrl and Shift keys to control where the link would open, I fell in love with this extension. Saves me so much time and frustration not having to constantly drag tabs around and rearrange windows. I can concentrate on my work instead. I can't even think of an improvement I would want! Even opens the NiftySplit window on my second monitor where I want it.
Great idea! Kudos to you and many thanks.
