vladstudio Can you find example in Apple's HIG or in other Apple's apps where multiple tab select operation is enabled?
Select multiple tabs for bulk ops (horizontal and vertical)

Yes, there seems to be no native components for multiple highlighted tabs. Couple of ideas: show multiple selected tabs as indicator dots:
or checkboxes:
or replace favicons with checkboxes:
As a reminder - user adds a tab to selection by Cmd/Shift click, and user removes selection by clicking any tab without Cmd/Shift (as in other browsers).
vladstudio Perhaps all tabs would just switch to their selected state, no other indicators needed?
@Vlad is that possible? (I somehow thought it is not). If so, problem solved.

I suggest having a middleground color between the gray unselected state and the white selected state to be used for the background of the highlighted tabs. this makes it similar to what chromium & variants have.
currently you can not hold shift, command, .. any type of modifier to select multiple tabs and then execute right click actions on them, e.g. closing, bookmarking, reloading, pinning, .. them
+1 This is one of the silliest limitations of Safari and it'd be great for Orion to improve upon it.
I strongly agree for adding this feature. It would be a great improvement for Orion, and it will also lower the barrier for people moving from Chrome/Firefox to Orion.
So it does look like you can use Command and Shift to select multiple tabs when they're in the sidebar on Safari. Not sure if it's something they added recently, or not.
@Vlad Are there any updates on this issue? Thanks!
I think it would be a good idea to be able to select more than one tab at the time by "command clicking" on them in order to close them or relaunch them for example. Right know you can only select one tab at the time.

AlejandroHernandez "Please" does not help, but supporting a browser by getting Orion+ has a meaningful impact on development speed.
Brief Summary
I believe Orion should have the ability to select multiple tabs. This can help users in many ways, for example closing multiple tabs or suspending multiple tabs without manually clicking on each one.
Details:
Click on a tab, then command click or shift click on other tabs. Also, Safari doesn't have that because there is no use to select multiple tabs; tabs in safari are either closing or duplicating, nothing else. Orion however, has muting, suspending and bookmarking. And it is more often that we have to select multiple tabs and run these actions. For my use, I have multiple tab groups with different assignments and homeworks, so after doing a little bit on each assignment, I want to be able to suspend the tabs and open them for another day. This is also benificial to users who have low ram chips, as they can suspend/close multiple tabs at once.
