super convenient needed feature is ability to open up a web searchable window while not disturbing currently active tab so I can do a web search while viewing that current tab ... sorta like a split screen ... what I currently do is hit ctrl + t to open new tab then grab the new tab and drop into browser to give new tab its own window then reposition that new window over to the side so I can do a web search in that new window while reading from original tab

You could keep that standalone search window open if you use it frequently and unmaximize the main browser window if you need to make this search window visible or open the new window directly via Ctrl+N.
