The popup window needs an address bar

gp Hmm.. I am a bit confused now, as the issue you mention maybe a different to what the OP is suggesting (appearance of the window itself).

Vlad Aha oops, I think there's 3 issues here then!

You can reproduce them all from the HTML demo I gave above.

1. (From the OP) - after toggling focus mode on and off, it makes the UI different to normal - more like "Safari" with a large text title on the upper left of the window. I think this is because on disabling Focus mode, the window chrome is restored to default, without checking if the current window is meant to be a "no URL bar and toolbar" window.

2. Security issue - you shouldn't allow a popup window with no URL bar visible, as this is a phisher's paradise for popping up fake MS 365 login prompts and asking for credential re-entry (!)

3. Semi security issue - Orion seems to be more permissive of pop-ups than Safari or Firefox. Likely should be blocked by default via this method.

Im i wrong if i remember safari or other browsers use to have a small butoon in the right corner to expand tool bar to show adress bar on pop ups?

made a mockup of how i remember it:

if i remember correctly the button would only be there when collapsed, and then dissapear after expanding

Longely Can you show a screenshot from Safari?

Vlad it doesnt seem to be present anymore. i tried googling it seeing if there was any screenshots of older versions with it, but couldnt find any

Vlad now that i think about it, i think it was a general Mac OS thing. also for finder windows. found this:

I think its a good solution

Yeah after googling it a bit. it was a general Mac Os thing to colapse tool bar into a narow bar

pretty sure Safari had it aswell when adress bar was hidden in pop ups

Impossible to find earlier Safari versions, so i tried earlier browser and found both Shiira and Camino with it.
cant find them colapsed tho

This behavior exists in just about every browser out there, is there one you're aware of where this isn't the case?

What password manager extension do you use? I use Bitwarden, and if you right-click in one of the fields on the login form, you can access the Bitwarden menu and use auto-fill.

I realize this is common in most browsers. I think it is a bug. A website should have no say in anything outside the content window. This is a security / privacy issue - I cannot see the URL to verify I am submitting information to the site I am expecting. This is an accessibility issue - I have bookmarklets and extensions that I use to modify styles to make sites more readable to me. This is a common sense issue - it is my browser and a website shouldn't be able to dictate what I can and cannot do.
At the very least, I should have an option to allow / disallow this behavior.
One browser I used to use (way back in the day) was K-Meleon which allowed the user to configure this behavior. Firefox used to allow the user to configure this behavior. IE & Chrome used to always display at least a read-only address bar as phishing protection.

I use Bitwarden as well - thank you for the reminder about the context menu feature.

This is simply what a "popup" window always behaves like, across major browsers. I believe you are asking for the ability to prevent popup windows from not having certain UI features.

I do understand why you would want popup windows to have a URL. Make a separate post for that.

yep, that makes a lot of sense. you should make separate posts for each of those. (or use this post for one of them)

Ok so if I test here

https://webbrowsertools.com/popup-blocker/

I can see that Orion shows only website domain in the title of popup window, while Safari shows full path, favicon and lock icon for https

So we should also do that.

Vlad This does not always work, especially if the popup is created automatically by a website, for normal (or malicious purposes). I recommend adding this to the app settings.
