Konqueror (KDE's original hybrid web browser/file manager) had it first, implemented in 1999 ( https://invent.kde.org/search?group_id=1551&project_id=2544&... ) and it supports arbitrary tiling. Oh by the way, Chrome's rendering engine (called blink nowadays, KHTML once) also originated from KDE.

Implementation details and UX in general is a cluster fsck of sad stories though, can confirm. Try/adapt zen browser maybe?
