Need to read one page while keeping another in view? Whale, the Chromium-based browser from South Korea's Naver, splits the window into two pages with Whale Space and translates sites with Naver's Papago, while running Chrome extensions.
Whale Space split view
Whale Space places two webpages next to each other in the same browser window. This layout suits tasks such as checking a source while drafting in another page, comparing product details, or following instructions alongside a web app. Both pages remain available in one workspace, so switching between separate browser windows is unnecessary.
The split view is especially handy when the two pages need to stay visible at once. It keeps a reference and the page being worked on together, instead of making the user repeatedly return to a single tab.
Sidebar and pop-up tools
Whale’s sidebar provides quick access to bookmarks, web apps, and browser tools without opening each item as a full tab. It works well for frequently used services that should remain within reach while the main page stays open.
Video Pop-up detaches a playing video into a floating window. The video stays on top while you switch pages, so a tutorial keeps playing as you follow along.
- Use the sidebar to reach saved pages and web apps.
- Keep a video visible in its pop-up while browsing elsewhere.
Page translation
Whale includes webpage translation for reading content in another language. Translation is powered by Naver Papago and is strongest between Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese.
Because Whale is built on Chromium, extensions from the Chrome Web Store install normally. Many built-in services, such as the sidebar apps, are tied to Naver and work best for Korean users.
