I want to split the screen with chrome extension.

As for what I want to do, I would like to use it as a menu by reading html prepared in advance on the sub-screen while browsing normally.
If you use pop-up, it will disappear when you operate the main screen, so it will be inconvenient to use.

Is it like a sidebar in Firefox?

Currently, Chrome expansion is not feasible, but requests have been made.It may happen in the near future.

This is not a very recommended method, but Content Script allows you to edit the contents of any web page.If you use it, you will be able to forcefully insert something like a sidebar.

For example, there is an extension that detects that Github is displayed and uses Content Script to move the file tree in Github's project to the left.
