by Twisthem488, 5 months agoMissing 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.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Rey Fox, 3 days agoI love this extension but I absolutely need a keyboard shortcut! We have Ctrl+B and Ctrl+H but then I am forced to pick the mouse to click for the Side View. Also the page open in sideview do not work as regular pages, and every time you open Side View, the page start from top... would be nice if you are sending a page in Side View, the view being about the same 'height' of contents you reached in your tab.

Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by blueSoda, 15 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by kuman, a month agovery useful extension for me, it works perfectly as I want it to be. one thing I dislike is that somehow this extension always make pinterest shows in mobile mode and I have to disable this extension so my pinterest works normally. hopefully dev will fix it soon.

- Rated 5 out of 5by 狄血城, 2 months agoThis is exactly what I need, and now I use this extension almost every day. I have a small suggestion: I need the functionality to reopen the SideView content in a new tab, or the ability to copy the current SideView content URL. Thank you for your contribution.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Bobby, 3 months agoIt works, but it's basic.
I wish it had fully featured side by side panels like in other modern browsers.
This basic implementation locks in the website in the sideview, which means you can only navigate by the items in the webpage. If you want another website in the sideview, you have to visit it in a regular tab and then click 'view in side view'.
A big negative for me is that your extensions do not work in the side view. - Rated 5 out of 5by Batu, 3 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Jugami, 4 months agoNice extension, but for some reason when I use it, Pinterest only opens in the browser (not in the sidebar) in the mobile version and not the desktop version
