Description

From @tomayac:

Was it considered that in the future there could be more than two split tabs in a browser tab? At the moment, the baseline assumption seems to be that there are at most two. I can well imagine that browsers would innovate more, and, for example, on wide screens allow a tab to be split in n split tabs.
