      An option during split-screen to allow the user to choose the orientation of split-screen i.e. either side-to-side or top-down.

      Currently, it is only possible to split screen side-to-side and it is really not helpful when you have a vertical monitor, or when you want split screen functionality when you size your browser to just one half of your screen

      This is a feature I've seen in Microsoft Edge but there is no option as far as I'm aware on both Opera and Opera GX. And it allows us to do something like this
      (example)

      Opera already has a 3 dot menu between split screen but it only allows to either exit split screen or rate it. Adding the option to choose orientation there feels like the logical step.

              @LordScy7he We appreciate your suggestion! At the moment this option isn’t
              available, but your feedback is valuable and we’ve noted it down

                There's an experimental flag '#more-split-screen' which shows that option. Not working yet but it seems the work in progress

                I noticed another one flag #side-by-side , not clear what for because I don't see difference when enabling.

                *In my opinion two more 'must have' options are 'swap' left/right screen and open link from left screen in the right one. And it was suggested/requested multiple times since the time the feature was introduced
