  • Please add tab folders, that cab be renamed.
  • The ability to drag tabs on top of other tabs to create a folder.
  • the ability to command select multiple tabs, right click, and create new folder.
  • folder colors
  • sync tab folders across all devices (iOS , iPadOS, MacOS)
  • im thinking mostly about vertical tabs. I never use horizontal tabs.

    The challenge here is to present those when vertical tabs are not disabled.

      currently you can only take tabs in the treeview and nest them into another tab, it would be very useful if you could instead select multiple tabs, right click and then group them with a custom text (+ maybe icon)

      Merged 1 post from Named tab groups (treeview).

        A "placeholder" tab that the user can "rename". This would most likely be used in vertical tab groups, so that there is a consistent (in terms of favicon) way for users to distinguish between different tab trees, especially when collapsed. Quick mock up:

        This mock up was done by taking the Orion website and editing the <head><title> element.

        The ability to "rename" tab groups has been implied by @Soum here.

          TheOtherKai changed the title to Placeholder tabs for vertical tab groups (tab folders) .

            I don't know how "placeholder" would work but the ability to rename the tabs as well as tab folders would help in better organisation of the tabs. In this picture you can see that "YouTube" and "music" are better than a random YouTube video title or a long website title name.

              they’ll likely just stay as they are.

              Another implementation that I suggested back when I first joined Orion is to use Notes tabs for this purpose, having the title be the first H1 title in the note, and allowing notes to have different contents from each other.

                TheOtherKai What does "stay as they are" mean? What happens to folder tabs?

                    Folder tabs would just be tabs with customisable titles, so they'll behave like regular tabs. It would not be great if there was custom browser behaviour for a certain tab.

                      Vlad Yes, as that is all that is really needed to have the functionality of a "folder tab". It just needs to persist past restart.

                          TheOtherKai Well it is not technically a folder as it currently needs to contain a web page. How do you imagine your flow with "rename tab" feature available?

                                I just stumbled upon an easy solution.

                                Create a bookmarklet that lets you rename tabs. Then use a start page and rename it to anything. Voila you have your tab folder.

                                javascript:(function(){document.title=prompt("Rename tab (reload to reset):",document.title)})()

                                  Hi,
                                  I'm here to put some salt over the topic.
                                  Those who already talked with me know I'm a heavy Arc user.
                                  Arc has this super convenient "Tab Folders" feature and this is the second most important feature that prevents me from moving to Orion as a default Browser.

                                  First, what I don't want from what I read just above:
                                  I don't want tabs to nest other tabs in the tree view.
                                  I don't want to rename tabs to make them appears as folders but still be tabs.
                                  I don't want to click on a folder and the browser opens every links in the folder.

                                  What I want for this feature is this:
                                  I want folders to be "real" folders. When you click on them -> You open/close them.
                                  When a folder is open in tree view, you can click on the tabs in it to open them.
                                  These tabs have to be closed until you open them and they have to offer a way to close them without removing them from the folder, allowing them to persist without being loaded.
                                  We should be able to rename folders.
                                  We should be able to nest folders in folders.
                                  Browsing from a tab (placed in a folder) should either create a new tab and then we can consider tab-in-folders like pinned tabs but, not compact and in folders OR/AND provide a way to reset the state of the tab-in-folder to the original URL when we started to browse. Anyway, the original URL should persist for this tab after the browser is closed and reopen and the state of browsing has to be forgotten through tab close and browser restart.

                                  Horizontal tabs don't fit the concept of folders. But, Google Chrome and Beam are example of Tab Group (folder) that are useable with horizontal tabs. However, I think all the power of folders can't be exploited in Horizontal Tabs, as the tree view, the best way to actually use folders, is not even a concept for Horizontal Tabs.

                                  Tab Folders are similar to Bookmarks but are actually part of the browsing. And so, tabs open outside any folders have to be completely distinct. These tabs should be draggable over a folder to put them in.

                                  IMO Horizontal Tabs don't have to reflect the tree view, Horizontal View should only reflect the open tabs and let the Vertical Sidebar deal with the managing and placement of tabs.

                                  The idea is that Horizontal view should only include pinned tabs and open tabs.
                                  Vertical View should display the tree view of tabs within their folders, the pinned tabs, and the open tabs that are not in folders and mark the open tabs that are in folders somehow, maybe with a dot or a bolder font or I don't know yet but somehow.
