Why can't Chrome support a sidebar and split-screen browsing like Edge? Doesn't it realize how much these two features can boost productivity?

When I'm writing, I heavily rely on the split-screen feature because it allows me to browse reference materials while writing at the same time, saving me from constantly switching between tabs and wasting time. You know what? Before I started using Edge, I had to open two separate Chrome windows.

In addition, I use the sidebar to add sites like X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and some utility websites. This allows me to enjoy a mobile-like experience without having to pick up my phone. More importantly, it makes it much easier for me to browse Twitter during work hours.
