Samsung Galaxy: How to Use 2 Chrome Browsers at Once

Quick summary: On a Samsung Galaxy phone, you can run two windows of the same browser side by side, so you don’t need two different browsers. It works with Chrome and Samsung Internet.

Chrome: three ways

1. Long press a link: press and hold a link and tap Open in new window. A second Chrome window opens next to the first.
2. Use the menu: tap the three dots in the top right and tap New window. Then search or type a different web address.
3. Use the Edge panel: swipe in the sidebar. If Chrome isn’t there, tap the app list button and search for Chrome. Then press and hold Chrome and drag it where you want it on screen.

Samsung Internet: two ways

Samsung Internet doesn’t have a New window button in the menu, but:

1. Long press a link on a page and tap Open in other window. You can swap the two windows if you want.
2. Use the Edge panel: swipe in the sidebar, search for Internet, then press and hold it and drag it to the side.

Now you can shop in one window and read or watch a video in the other.

What about Firefox?

Firefox can’t do it. It has new tabs but no new window, and if you drag it from the Edge panel, it says Firefox is already running. Other browsers might work, but Chrome and Samsung Internet definitely do.
