## TL;DR
<details>
<summary>Setup</summary>
```sh
brew install --cask 'zen-browser'
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Split tabs</summary>
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.
1. Right click one of the selected tabs.
1. 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).
</details>
<details>
<summary>Reduce the window's border</summary>
1. Go to `about:config`.
1. Look for `zen.theme.content-element-separation`.
1. Set the padding value to whatever one wants.<br/>
Defaults to `8`.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Use profiles</summary>
Enable the profile switcher by setting `browser.profiles.enabled` to `true` in `about:config`.<br/>
This will present a UI-menu-based switcher very similar to what Chrome gives.
</details>
