AshwinPaudel I dislike the idea, we should be able to rearrange the toolbar by dragging the icons around instead. I use the settings menu all the time and moving it would not be good.

    ForumNinja404 the settings button could be moved to the view tab instead of sitting there and being annoying and it would make it look and feel little more like safari

          I too would really like to have the tab switcher at the rightmost position. I don’t use settings enough, and hiding bookmarks/history/etc. under an extra click is a little annoying coming from safari. Plus, the right (or left) are easiest to hit because you don’t have to aim as much. I think settings could go under the Orion button in the url bar, or even the tab switcher. I think having the option to change the toolbar layout would be ideal because then people can have a settings button if they want, or we could remove it/move the toolbar around. Definitely would like a bookmarks button instead of having to go through the settings menu

              Allow adding “Find on page” action button to the toolbar for easier access

              Will be useful for those frequently searching for information

              There are broader feature suggestions about full toolbar customization, that would work as well, but in the meantime this could also be added since it’s easier to add

                  This will allow users to have only those buttons they need in the order that suits them best

                  Allow editing the toolbar, reordering and removing default buttons

                  For example, I don’t need the tabs button since I only use the swipe up gesture to invoke the tab list
                  Or I would like to have arrow right (history next) to always be on the right-most side so I never accidentally get on the wrong side of history

                  There is an issue about user buttons (which is also great), but this one is about editing default ones

                        Current link context menu on the one hand is too dense - I'd move all extension in a separate group, and also not dense enough -instead of 3 same lines for opening a link (that waste a lot of space on the left forcing the text to not fit in a single line) I'd use a single line with full width, bigger height that has 3 sections with only icons and section width depending on the use frequency (eg, private tab could be smaller, new regular tab would be biggest)

                        So something like this

                        Ideally you should be able to apply fully custom styles to these menus, reorder/group/position however best fits your use

                            The last post isn't about the toolbar, but context menus, rather different UI element, might get lost among this discussion

                            (by the way, Vivaldi in desktop has a nice system allowing you to reorder/add/remove/rename/change accelerator shortcuts for the context menus, but doesn't allows changing shape/size like in the screenshot)

                              Vlad I didn't see these elsewhere, but maybe I missed them. Made some quick mockups of easy ways to move the settings button to the tab switcher. Some locations I placed 2 labels because some things were interchangeable.

                              Grid:
                              No reason the search bar need to take up the whole space. I've never used it, but obviously having the option is nice, and i'm sure some people use it. The ideal space for "Done" is up here I think, with the "Settings" button being moved to the bottom-right to make it easily accessible. Move "New Tab" to the middle since it's the second most accessible location on the screen, and move Tab Switcher to the bottom right because it doesn't need to take precedence over New Tab, and it's easily accessible via gesture.

                              The main point here isn't the overall rearrangement, it's that "Done" can be moved to the top and "settings" can bump new tab over.

                              This one is a lot easier because of how many redundant buttons there are on this view. "Close All" should be moved into the editing view after pressing "Edit" (it can keep its spot). That opens up the top-right for a button. "Back" (in the bottom left normally) is also redundant, as swiping back as well as tapping the previous area on the left takes you back. This follows a similar set of rearrangements as the ones I made for the Grid view, with the whole bottom row being shifted left after the redundant button is removed, and settings being placed in the right.

                              Regardless of these ideas, hoping to see the settings moved out of the way so we can finally use switch tab there on the bottom row . I honestly wouldn't mind if settings was just moved to the Tab Groups view even. I'm just tired of struggling with why a Settings button is on the main toolbar of a mobile browser (although as has been stated, this mistake is not at all unique to Orion)

                                From the latest Testflight build, what do you all think?

                                It is also possible to enable every single one of them, if you so desire

                                  laiz No complaints with the feature. Works well and has a reset button if needed.
