I've also suggested including the bookmarks bar / favourites in the vertical tabs bar, which I think would solve quite a bit of what's been discussed here.

Looking back at the amazing UI/UX proposal Vlad shared back in 2023 it makes me sad to see this still open and the likely implication that it probably just won't ever happen.
HealsCodes Have you seen this post from Vlad?
It sounds like it’ll happen, but they just don’t see it as being a high priority item.
sarno I have and as someone working full time on comparably sized software projects his response is pretty much the equivalent of "that point is noted but won't likely appear on any roadmap for years". The umbrella response "we want to focus on stability and performance for now" is just a convenient way of phrasing it. You can always focus on performance and stability withouth ever finishing that goal 100%

Is there any update to this feature? The UX was done 2 years ago.
DaveOrion Yeah I'm anxious for it too. Part of why I switched to Arc so long ago was being able to keep everything on the side; now that it's all but dead, I need an alternative. Orion checks nearly every box and god I'd kill for this as I don't like having the Bookmark bar open, I'd buy both lifetime and make a donation if it meant it'd happen.
alexanderhblack fully agree, Orion is so close. All I'm missing right now is folders and the ability to auto-close tabs but have it keep the folders and pinned.
