| 2024-11-06 | Firefox user 18557317 | | Thank you, this is the feature I wanted. However, like Yandex Browser, Whale Browser, Edge Browser, and Vivaldi Browser, closing and opening the window does not keep the content displayed. |

| 2024-10-16 | Twisthem488 | | Missing a lot of features that feel required. I'm coming from Vivaldi and their native "Web Panels" which is how I expected this to operate. There should be the ability to go forward/back within the sideview. Either with mouse buttons, gestures, or with dedication navigation buttons in the panel. As is, I'll open a tech blog pick out an article and then have to navigate back to the homepage and find where I was in the feed again, sometimes scrolling through multiple pages since I cant just go back. It should also persist like an open tab. I often close and reopen it and don't want to load the page each time. Especially if I am using something like ChatGPT to have an ongoing conversation. I either need to keep the side view open the entire time even If i don't need it right then, or re-navigate to the previous conversation (which if thankfully remembers) I would also like a keyboard shortcut to open the sideview. Perhaps there is one that I haven't found documented. It would be nice to be able to open it with gestures (I'm using Gesturefy) I would also prefer that I could just add a site from within the sideview and save it there. Instead you have to open it in a tab, and then use the sideview button to also open it in sideview, and once you've done that you can open your 3 most recent pages. I have 5 or 6 pages I would like to quickly open in sideview, but you cant currently do that. Seems like a good start, but is missing a lot of functionality. |
