Which is the best way to display two pages side by side on the screen similar to to Windows 7.

I don't want to keep pressing F3 to choose each page in turn.

Thanks

Check out Cinch, which auto-resizes windows in the same way as Windows 7.

Open the two apps, drag the lower right corner to make each about 1/2 of the screen, then drag them to be side by side. The good news is you can do 3 or 4 this way if you have a big enough display to read it.

I much prefer SizeUp over Cinch, which is made by the same company. It gives you a lot more options than just two windows side by side and a maximized window. I'd look into that as well. They're both freeware, with the catch that every so often, after 'x' amount of uses of the app, a box will pop up asking if you'd like to purchase it. All purchasing it does, is make the box stop popping up to ask if you want to buy it ! lol
