Split Browser
$4.29About Split Browser
Cast videos to Chromecast & Nexus Player. Play videos from Split Browser on big screens!
Imagine if you could watch videos and write emails at the same time using your tablet! Or compare two web pages side by side, or take notes alongside a web page. Well, you can do all of that and more!
Split Browser is two browsers in one, working side by side. It lets you browse two web pages independent of each other. You can open links from one half into the other half. It also includes a notepad that allows you to take notes from a web page. You can open multiple tabs and swap them between two halves. You can also resize the two halves to suit your needs. Simply put, it is a powerful tool for multitasking.
Best suited for tablets and "phablets".
1/14/16 - SAMSUNG UPDATE: Split Browser now works in newer Samsung devices in multi-window mode.

CHROMECAST & NEXUS PLAYER:

Customer service is awesome. I like going on Amazon and being able to open another brower for Ebay to compare prices and going to other bookstores to compare prices. This app is awesome. I also clicked on regular browser and opened it in multiwindow with split window browser and had 3 brower windows open. Great fun and very useful. Thanks for great app. Well worth the asking price. Plus I liked that they had a trial version so I could be sure it would work on my tablet. The new 2014 galaxy has a split browser function but I do not have to upgrade to a more expensive tablet to get it.

After I switched from my galaxy S3 to the Nexus 5, I missed the dual window feature. This is the perfect solution! It runs very smoothly and I bought it without hesitation after using the trial version. My only suggestion is a text reflow when zooming. Other than that, I would recommend this to anyone.

Dual browser, that has a great UI that lets you switch windows, open up a selected URL in the first window in the second window, etc... Needs bookmark directory system, and no import of other bookmarks that I can see, though...on a Galaxy S4/JellyBean 4.3, using multi-window, you can open up Chrome or Opera, and this app, and have 3 seperate browser windows open, and it's still fast...impressed...

Common guys! This browser is very buggy. let aside the Chromecast functionality, I can't even open and close tabs properly, it gets stuck every minute or so and I have to keep existing which most of the time doesn't help the app to come out of freeze!

Didn't realize the app searches the web page for the video and offers to cast it itself rather than the user finding and pressing the maximize button. Maybe highlight that feature in the relase notes. Great app none the less!
