Vlad Summarizing the last few posts here, we seem to have reached a consensus on the following issues/features:

  • #8917 The bigger margins will help separate the tabs better, and the chevrons being embedded in the tab icon will also prevent the tabs from jumping left to right.
  • #8933 Having a separate panel for all the non-vertical tab sidebars on the right hand side will make the behavior related to hiding/showing those tabs while in vertical tabs mode more intuitive, currently there are a few recurring issues regarding hiding/showing the other sidebars while in vertical tabs mode, which would all be fixed.

For now I would encourage everyone to either show support or express their concerns regarding these two issues. Once their future is decided, more divisive topics can be discussed.

      Vlad good point, thanks for clarifying the context. I Agree with you regarding the not adding options.

          Vlad I wonder if you could summarize these into the minimum amount of changes (so that it is doable by the team) that would accomplish maximum amount of desired functionality (fully acknowledging that Arc did some things well)?

          Sure, I'll try to make a comperhansive list of quick-win feature improvements that I think could work well for all of the Orion users. I'll add a reply to this tread in the next few days.

              laptudirm Thanks, we will wait for visuals proposal from Milos and will let community wage in.

                Tried Kagi a couple years ago. It was fast and I loved the zero telemetry. But Arc's organization... pinned tabs, folders, active tabs, spaces... was superb. And their mobile app is matching in excellence. Glad to see the sidebar being thought about here. It was my biggest turn off to using Kagi, the windows things or whatever it did with the total tab numbers instead of just giving me folders... And after spending two years with Arc, there's no way I would ever go horizontal again.

                All to say, if the sidebar is done right I think a lot of Arc folks would land here for a faster and more private experience. Will return to this thread in a few months to see if there's been any progress.

                Good luck folks!

                  For those of us on this thread that want a more Arc-like sidebar in Orion, I'm wondering if it's possible to support this new Chrome extension that delivers almost exactly that (for Chromium-based browsers: https://www.sidespace.app

                  Kuakeye1 I am new to Orion and a current fan of Arc. I just want to say that I too would love to see a structure similar to Arc for "tab groups". As much as I value Orion's dedication to privacy, I have been spoiled by Arc's ease of use.

                    This would be perfect. As another person coming from Arc, This is the feature I miss most. I'd also love to not have profiles be seperate Orion Windows entirely (which feel more like seperate apps tbh) and instead being the swipable spaces in the side bar, thus creating a unified window.

                      janpeeters Yup, using them right now and I adore them! Phrased it poorly, sorry. I meant I'd like the profiles to be in the Save Windows instead of having each profile be a separate instance.

                        Zitro This and the way Arc handles bookmarks (displaying them above open tabs) is the only thing keeping me from switching to Orion. If they're implemented I'll switch 100%.

                            voidpointer Grateful_Guitar Thanks for the agreement y'all! Yeah, it'd make my life a lot easier. I'm already full-timing Orion because I like it enough, but this is what would take it from Great to Perfect for me.
