Yes, this sticks out to me, coming from Safari. I find it interesting to see how Safari resolves having the sidebar too.

    this very lengthly 3 year request still hasnt been implemented?

      Vlad Looking good, one small note, It would look better and help differentiate the tabs a bit better if they had a slightly darker shade to the rest of the tool bar rather than just a border outline around the tabs. This would make it more similar to the safari style compact tab design.

      And can't tell from the screenshots, will the active tab make the toolbar take on the accent colour like in Safari?

      Again, looking great for a first version.

        Oh thank you @Vlad. I'd been checking on this weekly for two years now! It's finally time! Please do release the present version, before tinkering it in response to user feedback in future versions. Looking forward to the release!

          Showing live footage from current dev build. Pinned tabs visible to the left of address bar.

          Also showcasing "Mini toolbar" mode which further reduces the height of compact tabs.

          Vlad Been following this thread for probably a good year. Compact tabs has been the only thing keeping me from switching over, can't wait!

              One initial feedback, works great so far and animation is smooth but could the text in the address bar be centred?
              Right now it is towards the left as shown in screenshot below

              Additional note, the alignment of the address text is not consistent with different tabs either, examples below:

                I can't tell if this is intentional or not? The most-left-hand bar seems to be the tab that you've selected, but the end result seems to be having the same website take up two spaces instead of one? If this is intentional, could there be a toggle to turn it off?

                It makes the tab switching/management feel really unnatural as well imo.

                  oup_oup_andaway Sure please create a new bug report and a video how to get there (I can not reproduce)

                      Trifocals3302 There is address bar and the tabs, same as with normal tabs. Everything is just made compact in a single row.

                          Trifocals3302 Not sure what do you mean? The address bar is smaller then in horizontal tabs mode.

                              B4ND1T I agree with this sentiment as well.

                              Reading this thread I've felt most people who are asking for compact tabs are looking for Safari's implementation, "jumpy" address bar included. Others can still easily use the standard or vertical views.

                              The version with the static address bar is completely unusable for my workflow, as I already tend to remove every icon in Safari's compact tab bar, for maximum visible tabs. This is the only thing keeping me from using Orion.

                                  [unknown] It is a separate feature that requires probably another week or two of development.
