It will be nice to have the same home page like Safari on iOS with all favorites folders.
There is a similar request for desktop also, https://orionfeedback.org/d/130-start-page-favorites-folders

Steps to reproduce:
Imported my bookmarks from Safari. My bookmarks folders appear on favourites bar, but they do not appear as home page icons, like it does on Safari. When I remove bookmarks from the folder, then it appears as an icon, but the folder still cannot appear.
Expected behavior:
I would expect the bookmark folders to show up as icons. Instead, they do not appear at all.
Orion, OS version; hardware type:

Version 1.1.5 (5) on iPhone 13 Pro Max

How it appears on Mobile:
How it appears on Safari Desktop:
Currently, Orion shows the bookmarks in 'Favorites' folder on the new tab page. Would like for it to be customisable to another bookmark folder. I use different bookmarks for my Mac than my iPhone, so it would be really useful if we could have other tabs shown on new tab page for different platforms.

Vlad Thought a video might be easier to understand:
When you save a bookmark to a sub folder in a bookmarks folder (like favourites) of your choosing, it’ll go inside that folder, and you can see it in Safari’s start page. Also, another bookmarks folder doesn’t show up, which is important if you don’t want to see ALL your bookmarks… just the ones that are in Favourites.
Yep, thank you, this is exactly what I meant (fingers crossed on the background wallpaper now)! However, I think there is a bit of lag when doing something in Orion’s start page or settings, but the rest of the app is unaffected. I tried getting it screen recorded, but the lag isn’t really noticeable on it.
