As of Chrome 107, which was released in October, the option is enabled by default, so you don’t need to tweak any hidden settings. This works with both www.google.com and www.google.co.uk, but not any other search engines.

To use the new feature, type a search query into Google, as you would normally do, and click a result to open it. An ‘Open search in side panel’ button will now appear in the address bar – this has a ‘G’ icon like the first letter of the Google logo (see screenshot below). Click it and a side panel will open on the right-hand side of the browser showing your search results. Select a result to display the page in Chrome’s main window, then choose a different result to switch to that page.

You can close the side panel by clicking the ‘X’ in its top-right corner and click the ‘Open in new tab’ button to view your search results in a new browser tab. set up notifications (see screenshot) to get reminders of events and birthdays, search across your schedule and have the extension run in the background when Chrome is closed. Unlock extra features by donating any amount to the developer.
