Home Tab interferes with Surfing plugin

[sirlaughalot90]

Thank you for the amazing plugin. I just have one issue – which might be a deal breaker. 😬 Home Tab interferes with the Surfing plugin. I love to quickly open a website within Obsidian for referencing something without leaving Obsidian. Yet, Home Tab makes this workflow impossible. I'd love to see an option or a mode added to let both plugins coexist.

Hi, I’ve never used the the Surfing plugin and I’m not sure how it works, but I’ll surely check if I can easily fix the issue.

I'll try to help as best as I can. Let me show you the issue: With Home Tab deactivated the top bar looks like this:

With Home Tab, the search bar disappears and there's no obvious way to enter a search term or address any more:

I took a look at the Surfing plugin and the main issue is that both plugins rely on the same way to replace the default new tab with their respective custom views. It's obviously not possible to have both the Home tab and the Surfing search bar, but it may be possible to combine the Home tab view with the top bar of the Surfing plugin.

I tried playing around a little bit but it'd be easier if the Surfing plugin were to add the top bar on top of the Home tab view, just like it's doing now with the empty tab.

I came here to point out the same thing.

Current workaround: start browsing from clicking on an item from the Sutfing Bookmark Manager and pin that tab for future browsing.
