I'd like to see this added as well.
Firefox, Puffin, and stock browser... but no Chrome.

The version of chrome on the Verizon version does not support multiview. It will probably be added in a future update.

Is that sidebar what Samsung calls multiview?

Yes. I believe it's because the other carriers received an update that provided the ability to use other apps.
Even with the update, not all apps can be used, that's up to the developers to add it.

Multi view is the ability to have 2 apps on screen at the same time.
The bar on the side is the dock for the apps.

Stupid VZW and their update stalling...

I think you have it backwards. Verizon came out with Multi-Window long before everyone else. Their version doesn't have everything that some other have because they didn't have as much time to get it in.

Could you post a screen shot of the multiview? I'm really interested in seeing it.

I though VZW was sitting on 4.1.2, would that not give us the other apps in multi-window?

You open up the bar, select edit, and choose Chrome and drag it onto the bar.

So you don't see edit at the bottom of your multiview side bar?

You're not doing anything wrong. The Verizon version hasn't received the update that allows chrome in multi view and chrome itself doesn't appear to have the multi view code written into it.

You either have to wait for the update, modify chrome yourself, root and install the mod that allows all apps, or install a custom ROM that allows all apps.

**Ed270** · 03-11-2013, 04:24 PM

I should have edited my earlier post but at this point you need root. Or there is another method without root but I found it easier to just root and run a custom Rom that have"Any app in multi-view"

When you hit edit, does it show you the apps that you can put on the bar. If so you touch Chrome and drag it to the bar and hit done. No root necessary.

According to the screenshot he provided, chrome is not an option.
