Have no idea what the complaints are about. I had opened about 50 pdf tabs open, needed them separated into two 25 tab pdf windows, did the thing perfectly. I use mine side-by-side all the time. Resizing isn't an issue, just slam the window up if you want it fullscreen, to the left or right if you want halfscreen.

Why does it need my browsing history? You dont need that in order to split my tabs. Looks fishy.
