Feature Request: Keep Navigation Bar / Tab bar / BookMarks Bar in same row

[kumzme]

Did you search for similar issues before submitting this one? Feature Request: Keep Navigation Bar and Tab bar same row. Presents bigger footprint of web page in small laptops like 13 inch screens

Describe the issue you encountered: I have really only one thing I would love dearly. Please keep both Tab bar and Navigation bar in same row, or switchable option.

1. Pretty neat ad cool looks.
2. Good minimalism
3. More webpage foot print, Especially. A. Mobile B. Smaller screens etc.

*Hideable navigation bar , would be even more awesome.

• As suggested below by Bradley and CliqueBait, Vertical Dropdown would be real good Option. Excellent Suggestion. Extending same to ANY browse tabs/features also would be good. Examples of features that could be accomodated
  1. Tabs
     1. Book marks
     2. Settings
     3. Extensions List
     4. Etc etc
• As suggested again , for the dislike due to crowding, even if we don't get a vertical list implemented, we can fix the size of total tab bar, divided by 2 or 3. Like 10 pixel width for navigation url , 20 pixel width for tab bars, xx pixels for any other. If more tabs are going to be present, we can side scroll. [ Anyways this is happening in full Tab bar also] This way we can have both vertical list as well as horizontal scrollable list OR separate tab bar if someone wants it.
• Another Suggestion I would love Dearly. NO URL Bar. We can let the tabs double click, and display Nav bar else, they would be tab bar. Opening a new tab default opens up URL bar. Shortcut can be assigned to open Nav bar and cliking somewhere else converts that to TAB bar. The screenshot actually if you notice , is how it will look. The screenshot shows 3 tabs currently - Git/Phys.Org/Taskboard.

Expected behavior: As in screenshot. Same row should have navigation bar

• Platform (Win7, 8, 10? macOS? Linux distro?): All
• Brave Version:
• Steps to reproduce: NA 1. 2. 3.
• Screenshot if needed: Attached and highlighted in Blue/Red

• Any related issues:

@kumzme Neat idea for a super condensed view.

Maybe we can do something like this once we are able to implement the next tab-view (a vertical list) which could fit as a popup in the URL bar.

@bradleyrichter I didn't like this idea at first glance over concerns about the nav bar getting crowded but could be quite good with a drop-down of open tabs (which is what I think you mean by "a vertical list").

If that's how it'll be done then probably the bookmarks bar in the proposed "super condensed view" should also be condensed into a drop-down on the same row as nav bar and tabs list.

Hey guys .. is this sortta gonna work out for Brave !

if someone can guide me I can .. I am a programmer though on the backend side. I can attempt it

[bradleyrichter]

@kumzme I think this would need quite a bit of design thinking before it would make sense to invest a lot of coding time. One problem is that we need to support N number of extensions as well. Some users will want to see 5-10 extension buttons at a time as we support more in the future.

I think working on a tree-style tabs view that could later be added to the shared space of the URL bar might be useful?

[kumzme]

If i were to sort of think creatively, below could be simpler, when minimal tab mode selected,

1. we can right align the tab bar and keep it as a single tab bar,

2. make the tab bar sort of like a drop down.

3. This gives lot of space to URL too

4. [If possible provide option for tree style]

5. [If possible we can also be able to click and search for a tab/tab history straight off the tabs]

6. [ if possible on hower we can list all tab bars. ]

Then keep adding the extensions to the left of the tab

+1 from community as an option to move the bookmarks next to the address bar and have the address bar at the side. https://community.brave.com/t/movement-of-bookmark-bar/16220?u=eljuno
