hmm, why woudnt you just want a new window in that specific case? click link get a new window, move it to the side?
not trying to kill your idea, just trying to understand how it differs.
Like maybe its the float on top part. that you want it visible on top of the mail client all the time? regardless of using the client.
if so, im not sure how it could be done without introducing an extra click somewhere in the procces, unless you wanted it as default that it float on top
how is this different from opening link in a new window?. you want a "float on top" option for preview?
can not confirm
The new preview view is great.
I would love to be able to use it on tabs. so i could shift click tabs that im not currently on, to quickly do something on that tab without leaving the tab im currently on
yeah I can see how the behaviour could be confused with broken trackpad.
I personally like it because often links in Mail for instance, is just something i want to check out fast, and not be send to a different app to view, and if its important enough for a longer session inside a browser i can easily make a new tab with it by clicking the button in the preview window.
I know Sigma and Arc have a similar feature, I dont know if its on by default though.
That said i dont have any problems with having it off by default, if its undesired for the majority. only problem with that is discoverability, but maybe thats ok
I guess it should be clarified more. I have been using Orion for more then a year. Bugs are a general problem with the browser even the Beta version, and RC versions often get released with problems that forces me to use Beta.
So i think RC should more be seen as a preview of what to come, with or without bugs.
That said this isn't a bug, but a new feature, that for me personally is the desired behaviour.
So i guess the discussion that should be had here if it should be on by default
If you dont like getting aggravated, you really should not be using a Release Candidate of a browser thats in Beta.
you should stick with Beta version instead of using RC
RC is for testing stuff like new features and then getting feedback on it, so the aggravation doesn't enter Beta version
Btw another thing with the video you posted, is that the little arrow thing that is suppose to point to the link you are previewing is pointing at a different post.
Looks like the arrow is pointing to where the mouse where when the preview is opened, and since you opened it from options menu, it goes the wrong place
I can also live with current behavior and open link in new background tab AKA Open Link in New Tab (when right clicking) Main thing for me is just to have the option to create a new tab that i dont have to deal with immediately after previewing it. So i can continue looking trough the list undisturbed
I would just go with the icon iOS uses:
I wanted to suggest 1 and 2 as-well.
one thing tho is that i went to check, and the default force touch preview in Mac Os doesn't have round corners. it looks similar to the new Orion preview. but round corners was my first thought aswell
Agree. i would just have the default "fullscreen" button replace current web-view instead of opening in a new tab (like Arc). Then have a second button for open in new tab without going to that tab, Similar to "Open Link in New Tab" in the right click menu.
Reason why this is useful is that if you have a list of links that you need to go trough and figure out which you can use. its annoying being send to that tab and then have to go to back to the original tab to continue going trough the list.
Have had same experience with Orion for a long time. For me its not only refresh not working sometimes, its also X button to stop a process if it gets stuck
no steps to reproduce
can confirm not working, getting 404
This still isnt fixed for me
Version 0.99.126.2-beta (WebKit 618.1.2)
Build date Nov 10 2023
MacBook Pro (macOS Monterey 12.7 build 21G816)
same, getting it a-lot on discord
Just updated my normal Orion to:
Version 0.99.126-beta
So a separate instance then my RC
Same problem now occurs there. maybe its specific to my OS?
Monterey
same here, also crashing on new tab
