Just working on one Tab and have another view of it somewhere else on another place on Desktop or whatever, to scroll on the Content of the Main tab, without altering it in some way .

I like to use it to read content on a Website, while have a look on the same Webside somewhere else on it.

Implementing would be like creating another view on a tab to have this new window on an independent position and adding scroll/sizing elements.  Updating only content from "Main-Tab", but not position/size from that main-tab and keep this it seperated to be handled on every "Mirror-View" by itself.

Problem: Tab wont work in some cases, because every tab become a new session or it will be checked, that there are only one session from your device on webserver.

My actual case, i like to read comments on a page, while watching the output of a calculated page.

If i try dublicate Tab, but calculated content is gone. Just Scrolling on one Tab take a lot of time and also is confusing me on long pages.
There could be something like userdefined Markers to jump to..(also nice to have) - But thats also not the best way to go in my case.

(nice to have) Mirror-View could be used as a Video Fullscreen,  but elements to be used are on another.

(nice to have) And may be not only to have one "Mirror-View" but so many like your system can handle . That would also be an option for creating a video-wall with same content on all Monitor.

(nice to have) If Mirror-View would be implemented, it would be nice to have an option to stream a view (easy) to another device, like over network to present it somewhere else. somewhat like Create-Mirror-View: Local Desktop, or on IP-Address, where Firefox already running and waiting to create that View.
