Step 3:

To open a web page as a tab, click the Side View icon when you are opening the first web page. We will then see the option to turn on the website in a different window than the desktop or mobile interface. Select another website that is on to switch back to the same window.

You can also adjust the window size by adjusting the 2-arrow arrow, then zooming in or zooming in as you like.
