User reviews

The navigation bar is on the bottom instead of the top and I didn't like that. The navigation buttons to go back and forward do not work on some websites. The extension adds extra vertical and horizontal scrollbars when the sidebar is too small, which makes it look messy. I recommend using the "Page Sidebar | Open any page in side panel" extension instead and to be sure to visit the extension options page for that extension.

My company website requires a plugin to provision security tokens, and it does not open in this sidebar.

De todas las extensiones para dividir pantalla que he probado (que han sido muchisimas) esta es la que mejor funciono. No entiendo el chiste de acomodar 2 ventanas de chrome que hacen las otras extensiones, eso se puede hacer manualmente y a la hora de minimizar y volver a colocar es una coladera, todas esas extensiones las elimine al instante de probarlas. Esta extension es diferente a las demas, realmente divide la pantalla de chrome dentro de la ventana de chrome Aunque se ayuda del panel lateral, pero bueno el objetivo esta logrado, solamente le falta un administrador de pestañas y seria perfecto. Pero de todo modos me gusta mucho esta extension. Gracias.
