What is Double Read?

'Double Read' is a Chrome extension which transforms how you consume online content. It allows users to read websites in two different columns, each behaving like an independent page. This feature makes multitasking easier and more enjoyable. However, websites that don't accept external origin scripts may not load. The extension continually receives updates for more convenient usage, including simultaneous scrolling and automatic updates across both columns.

Perfect… absolutely perfect. now you can maximize the massive empty space by hanging an in-sync 200% website. Now, I need a way to add more splits, can I still have way more space than just 200% length.

Divide, como prometido. Todavia, não permite que uma das divisões tenha independência na barra de rolagem, ou seja, uma vez dividida, ambas as barras funcionam conjuntamente. Seria interessante que as barras de rolagem fossem independentes.
