Vlad changed the title to "Back" gesture on a new tab should jump to the parent tab (like on mobile) .

    Upvoted. This is not only on mobile, but on macOS Safari as well. It would give Orion feature parity.

      hsu I do not think you can gesture back on a newly opened tab in desktop safari?

          Done (swiping back using trackpad closes tab and returns to parent tab)

                Cannot reproduce the behaviour you describe - not sure if it could be down to settings, but I had a play with the obvious ones and I cannot swipe "back" in a newly opened tab to get it to return to the parent tab. The "back" button is greyed out, and the gesture doesn't work.

                @Vlad not quite yet 🙂 Let's see if we can get to the bottom of this, as I am seeing different behaviour from @TheOtherKai it would appear.

                    Steps to reproduce:

                    1. Open a link in a new tab (e.g. by ⌘-clicking it).
                    2. If "make new tabs active" is not enabled, switch to the new tab.
                    3. Invoke the back function on the trackpad, or by typing the shortcut ⌘-[ (the back arrow in the toolbar will be disabled in this situation).

                    Actual result:
                    Nothing happens.

                    Expected result:
                    The newly created tab should be closed, and the tab where the link was clicked should become the active one again.

                    Notes:

                    • To be consistent, the back arrow in the toolbar should also be enabled (and also close the tab) in this situation.
                    • This should likewise work for links opened in new windows.

                        leftium This is already done on Desktop and behaves same like Safari. Can you please check and confirm what additional you are expecting here?

                            I just tested with 0.99.126.4.1-beta and 0.99.126.4.1.8-rc

                            If the link is opened with command+click, back button is disabled and I can't use any of the back features to close the tab and move to parent.

                            If clicking a link opens a new tab on it's on (i.e. Kagi search result) then the back button is enabled and going back closes the tab.

                              No one is typing
