TL;DR

Setup
brew install --cask 'zen-browser'
Split tabs
  1. Select the desired ones:
    • Hold CTRL or CMD, then left-click to select only specific tabs, or
    • Left-click 2 tabs while holding the Shift key to select all tabs in between.
  2. Right click one of the selected tabs.
  3. Choose the Split x Tabs contextual menu option. X will be the number of selected tabs.

The default Split View layout is a grid. Change it by pressing the 🔗 button in the top address bar (usually between the tab container indicator and the favourites' star button).

Reduce the window's border
  1. Go to about:config.
  2. Look for zen.theme.content-element-separation.
  3. Set the padding value to whatever one wants.
    Defaults to 8.
Use profiles

Enable the profile switcher by setting browser.profiles.enabled to true in about:config.
This will present a UI-menu-based switcher very similar to what Chrome gives.
