now you can have split screen/ snap view on continuum, or sort of!

check out this new third party broswer that can enable multiple "windows" show the same time, or some page/ video as PIP mode.
now I can finally edit documents (office online or google drive) , watch YouTube and check info from library/ Wikipedia the same time. just like I do on PC.


isn't this cool and totally something we all people who use continuum have been waiting for?

it is called monument browser that you can check at the store. apparently it has been there for a while but I just discovered recently.

Just downloaded this to my PC and will try it when I have more time, but it seems quick.

Any chance of doing a write up and maybe putting it in a more prominent place than Continuum but obviously mentioning how it works with it as well.

I notice it says it has a built in ad blocker, how is that working on the phone?

I tried it, the split screen and picture in picture is pretty cool! I wish it was possible to have PiP from an app while you do something else in the phone... Anyway, it may have some bugs... I shared a link on twitter from a website and when I returned the two windows I has were gone .-.

I guess that should more a job for Microsoft or w10M continuum team than the developer of this app. So finger-crossing or Pray.

it works great actually, at least on sites like *coughing* windowsCentral or some news sites I visit daily , the ads are all gone. and some how since the ads are all gone, the sites loaded much smoothier. However when Ad block is enabled, some sites like google drive would not function right.

Nice find! This will be super useful.

Now I kind of want to know how blind people dream.

Just installed this so haven't been able to try this on continuum, but the browser itself is great. Much faster than Edge and handles terribly designed websites (looking at you yahoo sports) very well.

Thanks for the heads up!

Phone gets warm, but this app works very well, outstanding find !!
