2 web pages, 1 tab - Google Chrome Dual View

If you ever get tired of flipping back and forth between two browser windows or tabs when what you really want to do is be able to read two articles at once, (or read one article while composing a blog post or email in another window), there's a Firefox plugin called Split Browser that can help. But what if you're not using Firefox? What if you're using a browser like Google Chrome, which doesn't even support plugins?

Then you can use a Javascript bookmarklet called Google Chrome Dual View. Just drag the bookmarklet to your bookmark toolbar and when you hit the button Google Chrome will ask you to input two web addresses. It will then open them up side by side in a single browser tab.

No, it's not the most elegant solution. But it works. As an added bonus, the bookmarklet works in Firefox (and possibly other web browsers) as well. I just don't see why you'd choose to use it instead of Split Browser.
