Currently when you close the last tab Orion will close the main window. And people, I included, want this window to remain open with a new fresh start page.

Adding a checkbox at "Orion > Settings > Tabs" named "Close window when closing last tab"

Behaviour:
When the checkbox is checked (true): Orion main window closes upon closing last tab (current behaviour)
When the checkbos is unchecked (false): Orion main window will not close upon closing last tab. But rather open a "new tab" with the "Start Page". (Similar behaviour on mobile Orion / mobile Safari).

    I second this! Any updates on this so far?

      Seconded. As someone who prefer to work in full screen mode this is a must.

        hsu Is this the case in Safari?

        • hsu replied to this.

            Vlad No, but I enable this option in other browsers wherever possible.

                hsu What other browsers have this option? Can you post a screenshot of how it is labeled?

                    This is how Vivaldi labels it:

                    In addition, this is also the default behavior in Arc browser.

                    Really hope this could become an option in Orion!

                      My personal daily driver is LibreFox, and use Chrome/Edge for work. Seldom use Safari other than occasional testing.

                      Closing the last non-pin tab closing Orion is so confusing🤦‍♂️

                      An option to change this behavior is more than welcome!

                        Just notice in Version 0.99.130.2-beta (WebKit 621.1.2.111.4), closing last non-pin tab has 2 different behaviour:

                        1. Last non-pin tab active, cmd-w will minimize Orion
                        2. Middle click or click "x" of the last non-pin tab will close the non-pin tab, then open a new one

                        Additionally, in Safari:

                        1. If pin tab is present, closing last non-pin tab(even it is a start page)
                          • with mouse action, will go to pin-tab
                          • ctrl-w will minimize Safari
                        2. Closing last tab (pin or non-pin)
                          • with mouse action, will close the existing tab and open start page
                          • ctrl-w will minimize Safari
                        3. If last tab is start page, and there is no pin tab
                          • Cannot close tab with mouse action
                          • ctrl-w will minimize Safari

                        So in this case, Safari mouse action align with OP and my expectations, but not ctrl-w.

                        PS: mouse action = middle click or clicking the "x" of the tab bar.
