For further context we use a simple product management formula for prioritization.

popularity (upvotes) X percentage of affected members in the community / difficulty

If you would score these on a scale of 1 to 10 for this feature it would roughly translate to

8 x 4 / 7 = 4.5
8 - pretty high up on the list of upvotes
4 - 40%? of users have touchbar
7 - not a trivial feature

(this is the subjective part determined by me mostly)

Since max is 100 (10x10/1) you can see how this still remains a low priority.

Most things we do regularly are in the 10-20 range (a bug that is easy to fix and affects everyone would be 1 x 10 / 1 = 10 which is why you see many of them go through in releases). Then once in a while we allocate time to push things that are just popular, but so far there were always more important things to push.

Demonic what does current touch bar look like for you in orion?

      I'd also like to see a PiP button overlay on the actual video too

      Firefox has this feature built-in. Not sure about Chrome etc

              This would entail adding a feature similar to Safari's or even Chrome's, allowing owners of touchbar macs to have greater productivity.

              I want to have touchbar support for older macs. I would say that yall don't really care for older machines, but you have a browser available all the way back to Catalina. It, while being a minor feature, would help improve productivity. Ideally it would be a tab switcher, but it could also be like what Chrome and Firefox have.

                  im trying to switch from chrome to this but not having touchbar controls is a huge dealbreaker, i would really love if they were implemented, even just a back/forward/refresh button and a search field
                  like even firefox has them

                    • for this, please just add the built-in touchbar browser controls from Safari, I don't think there needs to be anything different or more features you guys need to add to this. It's a small attention to detail that will make the experience on touchbar macbooks feel so much more alive and finished. the touchbar was alive for 7 years and apple sold it with 2 generations of apple sillicon. they are still not a rare thing and it isn't pointless at all to put in the effort to support them.
