Split View in Chrome is almost a free preview window
I’m probably late to the game here, but quite by accident I discovered the Split View [an article on zapier.com] option in Chrome (actually Ungoogled Chromium) and it allows you to put two windows in a single tab and adjust the relative width. I believe iPad users have had this for a while (feel free to roll your eyes at my late discovery). The side-by-side view gives you what amounts to a preview window next to your admin view. While it doesn’t auto update, it’s proving quite handy.
You can also size down to below 500px width, which most mac browsers won’t do.

Very helpful, thanks.
Guided by your insight, I learned that split views will also be available in Fx 148 for those two or three unchromed people still out there. Soonish.
Being one of those three: Consider me pleased!

It is also great to see Sanitizer API landing in FF. Hopefully, Safari and Opera will join the club in time for txp5 release.

BTW, in 4.9 we have a movable/resizeable article preview widget that can be used even without saving the article. Might it be better integrated with admin UI?

I was musing this today after reading this thread, but couldn’t figure how to allow preview to be “externalised” so it could be put in a separate tab.
I mean, if you save the article you could open the front end view on the split pane to see the rendered content, but you’d still need to refresh it. And it’s already committed at that point.
If there was a way to allow (live, unsaved) preview to be opened in a new tab, that would be a pretty sweet fit for this browser functionality.

Kinda lol here: ChromeOS and by extension Chrome browser discover something iPad user have used since iOS 9, and macOS users since macOS 10.11 (?). On those two it is tow separate windows, but it does the same. I use it often with BBEdit.

You know about Responsive Design mode? Safari: Command-Control-R, Firefox: Command-Shift-M, and I forgot what it is in Chromium browsers. (equivalent keyboard shortcuts left to discover by Windows/Linux users).
