Any possibility of keeping it also on the side, instead of always down? #53

Hey, I really like this browser plus. It's much simpler and looks much lighter than the more popular one. But it always stays in a tab at the bottom.

Is there any way to make it so I can drag this tab to the right? (the other browser has it). And Also to open it in a new atom window?

Much appreciated for the extension 🙏

There is option in settings to choose the default dock location, right or bottom.

sean-codes commented 3 years ago

Hi! You can change the dock in settings to bottom dock or right dock. I'll attach some GIFs how to do that

You can also drag the browser between bottom/right dock and the setting will update

Open in a new window is not a planned feature (I think there are already much better tools for doing code reload etc in external browsers)!

Hey, thank you so much for your reaction. It's great that I can also put it on the right, I will give it a go.

It's a shame that opening in a new browser is not in the planned features. It would have been great to be able to open and live update the file, no matter what computer I am on. I understand that you are doing this for free and perhaps don't have the time or the energy for everything.

Could you please advice me on a easy to use auto reload for a browser, that works with php, html and css files?

I have looked around but did not find anything that meets all the criteria of user friendliness. That would really be appreciated.

Sincerely, Yarik
