  • I've been thinking about this one for a while. I am coming from Arc and have been following the discourse on here about that. I think there's a relatively simple solution that'd satisfy a fair few requests, whilst keeping to the spirit of Orion (and the HIGs).

    Currently there are two options:
    Tabs / Vertical
    Show Bookmarks Sidebar

    If the user could opt to show Favotires and/or Bookmarks in the Vertical tabs view, then:

    • there'd be a more reliable saved pages section (the specific urls would survive restarts etc.)
    • the tabs could be renamed
    • folders will be supported

    And all of those features are already implemented in the existing 'Show Bookmarks Sidebar'!

    The section(s) would need to be visually adjusted to fit with the current vertical tabs view.

    Like so:

    Spiritually it's similar to 'Show Bookmarks Bar', but instead of adding another horizontal bar, it adds a section to the existing vertical sidebar.

    • When I go to a website with 2FA using a code to fill in, like for example logging in to Discord web, and I have to enter a verification code from a text message, Orion suggests to update the saved password.

      Steps to reproduce:

      • Go to a website where you can login and use 2FA with a code, through email or sms
      • Login with your credentials, which should already be saved in Orion keychain
      • 2FA should be the next step, asking for a verification code
      • Enter the code you received by email/sms
      • Expected result: No prompt to update the saved password should show up
      • Actual result: A prompt asking to update a saved password shows up, and I have to be careful to not press Update every time

          1Password frequently crashes. This is the version of 1Password recommended as a "Popular Extension". I was experiencing this issue in Orion Version 0.99.130.2-beta (WebKit 621.1.2.111.4). I then signed up as an Orion+ subscriber and so I downloaded Orion+ and therefore had a perfectly clean and new Orion browser with no data imported. I am still experiencing the issue on Version 0.99.130.5-rc (WebKit 621.1.2.111.4).

          There seems to be no rhyme or reason that I can ascertain as to what prompts the crashes. It does not only crash when interacting with the extension, sometimes it crashes when I am simply scrolling a page.

          I would estimate that on average, I experience 1-3 crashes per day.

          Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, I have been unable to reproduce the crash via any specific set of steps.

          1Password extension should not crash. It does not crash in Chrome/Firefox/Safari.

          • Dynamic
            Window Tiling.

            I propose introducing a dynamic window tiling feature in Orion browser that enables users to stack websites vertically, horizontally, or in custom layouts within a single browser window. This would allow users to manage multiple sites simultaneously and efficiently. The feature should include the ability to engage tiling by dragging one tab onto another, intuitively creating a tiled layout. Users could split the screen into two vertical panes, display two sites side-by-side, or stack multiple sites in various configurations.

            Additionally, the unified address bar would adapt dynamically, controlling the active tile based on cursor focus or window selection, ensuring simplicity and ease of navigation.

            This functionality would enhance multitasking for researchers, developers, and power users, eliminating the need for separate windows and reducing desktop clutter. Unlike macOS’s native window management, Orion’s integrated tiling would provide a seamless, browser-centric experience, adding value while adhering to Orion’s commitment to efficient and user-friendly design.

            Exact Use Cases for Window Tiling in Orion

            1. Research and Comparison
              Users can open multiple websites side-by-side to compare data, read articles while cross-referencing sources, or check pricing across e-commerce sites.
              Example: A student can have one tile for an academic article, another for a note-taking app like Notion, and a third for a citation source like JSTOR, all within a single window.

            2. Web Development and Debugging
              Developers can view a live website alongside its development tools or staging environment, or test responsiveness by resizing tiles to simulate various device views.
              Example: A developer tiles a staging site, a code editor like CodePen, and browser dev tools, quickly toggling between them without leaving Orion.

            3. Content Creation
              Content creators can watch reference videos, draft content, and simultaneously manage uploads on platforms like YouTube Studio.
              Example: A YouTuber tiles a tutorial video, a script editor, and the YouTube upload interface side-by-side.

            4. Project Management and Productivity
              Productivity enthusiasts can tile project management tools (e.g., Trello, Asana) with a calendar app and supporting documents, maintaining focus on a single window instead of multiple desktops.
              Example: A project manager tracks tasks in Asana while referencing emails and updating a shared Google Doc.

            5. Media Consumption and Monitoring
              Users can watch a live stream or video while browsing Reddit or participating in a chat.
              Example: An investor tiles live stock charts, news feeds, and a trading platform for real-time monitoring.


            Implementation Inspiration from Other Browsers/Apps

            1. Vivaldi
              Vivaldi allows users to tile tabs by selecting multiple tabs, right-clicking, and choosing a layout (horizontal, vertical, or grid). This no-frills implementation is effective but lacks dynamic resizing and advanced stacking.

            2. Microsoft Edge (Split View Experimental Feature)
              Edge includes a split view feature in development, enabling side-by-side viewing of tabs within the same window. However, it doesn’t allow custom layouts or vertical stacking.

            3. Window Management Tools
              Tools like Rectangle and Divvy let users resize app windows in specific patterns on macOS. However, these work across separate windows, creating desktop clutter, unlike integrated tiling in a single browser window.


            How This Extends Orion’s Current Functionality

            1. Enhanced Tab Management
              Orion already offers a streamlined browsing experience. Tiling tabs builds on this, enabling users to consolidate their workflows within a single window.

            2. Intuitive Integration
              Dragging one tab onto another would trigger tiling options, such as vertical, horizontal, or grid stacking. This approach ensures simplicity while maintaining Orion’s focus on minimalism.

            3. Unified Address Bar
              Orion’s existing address bar dynamically adapting to the active tile provides users with a seamless way to interact with each site without duplicating UI elements.

            • When the orion browser is initially opened (fully quit and then reopened), 1password launches two tabs stating that it couldn't load and needed to be restart, however after that it still doesn't work.

              I expected 1password to work as normal and not crash

              • Like Safari it would be neat if you also could store stuff like Credit Cards and Addresses for Autofill on the keychain.

                • Please add side by side tabs. This is good for research, work, or social networks.
                  Command click two or more tabs, right click ,and choose side by side.
