That is partly the functional concept behind Tasktop, a task-focused interface which has been around for a while. I used it in the past but at the time very few of my main tools were available via browser—so the benefits were not significant. That said, you could launch any kind of file/URL, including ones associated with external programs.
Tasktop has evolved significantly since then, but mostly towards integration with software development tools and environments. I think that market is so big and always on the lookout for new tools and methods, that there is little incentive to do anything else, i.e. in the direction of office productivity.

That’s a great extension! Thanks for the tip!
Though I just noticed that in the Settings it gave the following error message:
“Warning:
This extension failed to modify the response header “x-frame-options” of a network request because the modification conflicted with another extension (*Split Screen*).”
It still seems to work, so hopefully that’s nothing sinister.

Unless I am missing something in what you want to do, this is what I would do in Windows 7:
- In the browser, open one of the applications in a separate window (instead of tab)
- Win+Left for one window, Win+Right for the other
One can achieve the same Win+arrow functionality in Windows XP and earlier versions with various utilities, such as Winsplit Revolution, Windowspace etc. These utilities are also useful in Windows 7 if one wants more complex divisions of the screen.

Is it simply old-fashioned to be hesitant about committing so much to the risks and compromises inherent in the Internet?

**Split Screen** is for my Chromebook :) Otherwise I use WinSplit on my Win7 non-stop, although I did have trouble running it on a netbook with Win7 Starter.
**Split Screen** has some nifty features such as the ability to save the two URLs, so to launch that setup (e.g. Gingko + Workflowy), all you need to do is hit the extension icon in the toolbar. One click = very convenient.
