Make Focus Mode more like the 'Arc' browser.

Please that would be awesome.
Human Interface Guidelines can't be absoulute. People seems to love that feature.

I would swich to orion for good.

Also if we could get a typing windows instead of address bar in the center like spotlight search to open links (it is there in the arc)

You are not copying anyone, we all build on what is built before us. That is how we got here. Until it is a trademark I don't see the point of not having these two features in orion.

I just downloaded it today. Would love to be a orion member and promote it to other.

Hope to see these feauture

somebody12 What are you asking?

Vlad I am requesting to have this

and this:

somebody12 It is not clear what "this" is nor what it has to do with Orion's Focus mode which is the title of this feature suggestion. Please clarify and or create new feature suggestions to ake it compeltely clear.

Vlad It appears to be 2 separate requests, both related to making the browser useable without a top toolbar.

Have the address bar located at the top of the sidebar.
Use the “spotlight search” type interface to display the URL and suggestions when typing in the address box.

I’m not sure Arc’s solution is all that intuitive. Personally I find it disconnected and a bit unusual (although still efficient). I suggest a further exploration of this idea. Perhaps a more compact top toolbar, or simply a floating address box similar to a dynamic island interface. I have a few ideas I’d like to experiment with before jumping on the Arc bandwagon.

Like @mischa43, I've been testing both Zen and Orion browsers. As a Mac user, I would love to switch completely from Arc to Orion. However, Zen offers a crucial feature that I value: the sidebar shown on hover.

I believe this functionality is a defining factor not only for me but for many users considering the switch to Orion. While I understand the commitment to following the Human Interface Guidelines, I agree with @somebody12 that some exceptions can be beneficial. Certain features that users are already familiar with or desire in their browser of choice deserve consideration, even if they slightly deviate from standard guidelines.
