I came back to Orion after a while of trying out other browsers and unfortunately I'm still just not able to adapt to the compact tabs implementation here. One issue is that even with just two tabs open, the URL bar + those two tabs takes up the entire width of the browser and cuts into website names. It makes it much harder to find the tab you're looking for once you have more than a couple.
Additionally, the way the current website is split in two places across the browser with the URL all the way on the left and the tab itself squished amongst other tabs somewhere on the right is something I've tried to get used to but it just never makes sense to my brain. My natural instinct is to look at the URL bar, but here that's actually incorrect because I often needed to find the tab instead and that might be nowhere near the URL bar. Eventually I just disabled compact tabs and went back to the classic style, which was admittedly a little disappointing.
I'm not a software developer so I can only imagine a more Safari-like dynamic system where the active tab expands or contracts to display or hide the URL bar is more complicated to implement than the current system, but at this point, I'd even just take allowing me to remove the URL bar entirely and use a keyboard shortcut to open a URL pop-up or something instead. One of the browsers I've been using is Arc and that's basically what I do there and it actually works surprisingly well.
Anyway, I'm just really hoping that there may be improvements coming for this because Orion in theory should be the best browser out there by a mile, but try as I might I can't seem to get used to basic tab management here.
