Keeping tabs saved when closing with red dot

Xytronix

I noticed that Orion closes all tabs when closing it using the red dot.
I would like to keep tabs open instead of switching to command Q or Orion → Close Orion.

This could be implemented with a toggle option inside the settings.

This would help new users and no power users get along with the browser and how they work in different applications. Chrome browsers keep the tabs open while using the red dot.

Hello,

Isn't this what you're trying to do?

Yannick No I have exactly this set. This issue is occuring when Orion is terminated using the red dot.

On macOS, the 'traffic light buttons', also known as the window control buttons are for controlling the window. If you close a window by pressing the red button, you end up discarding all open tabs. That behavior should be consistent across all browsers (I tested Orion, Safari, and Chrome while writing this post), and, while unintuitive to people coming from Windows or Linux, it is by design and I don't think Orion should attempt to reinvent the wheel here.

On a related note, I complained about the same thing nearly two years ago as it seemed unintuitive to me as well. #4715

laiz I do believe we should favour the user in that case.

I have tested this on a chrominium fork and encountered otherwise.

An option wouldn't harm anyone, instead benefit the ones not deep into the ecosystem.

But you can use that feature, just like in Safari:
