Split Plane Side By Side Browsers

Wide screens + narrow web pages = side by side browsing.
Just about every screen sold today has a wide screen. It's nearly impossible finding a TV or computer monitor that still has the old 4:3 square aspect ratio, so why not make a browser that actually takes advantage of the extra width by letting you view two web sites at the same time.
Although some web sites are look decent when you extend your browser window to it's widest size, most are still optimized for narrow screens. In fact, because of mobile devices, just about every web site today looks great even when the browser is squeezed into a very narrow space.
I love using browser tabs, but there are a lot of times when I'd rather have two browser windows side by side, so I can see them both at the same time. While I'm perfectly capable of opening two browser windows, and positioning them so they are side by side, it would be much quicker if the browser had an option to split the window in two, allowing me to keep two independent sessions active.
Ideally, each of the split panels should be capable of having it's own set of tabs, and even login credentials. For example, in Google Chrome, each tab could be linked to a different Google Account. This not only makes it easier to keep multiple sites on screen at once, it also lets you treat both sides as completely different user workspaces.
