Use Tab Tiling in Vivaldi to create a split screen view of your Tabs.

Tiling Tabs

To tile two or more tabs:

    • Clicking on the Page Tiling button on the Status Bar and selecting the tiling layout,
    • Typing “Tile Vertically/Horizontally/to Grid” in Quick Commands,
    • Using a Keyboard Shortcut,
    • Creating a Mouse Gesture for the action.

There’s no limit to how many tabs you can tile at once, but from a certain point onwards (depends on your screen size), seeing the page content can become difficult.
