Dev Update to 76.0.159.0 is live
Elliot Kirk Feature requests:
1) Floating menu (browser top bars) like the ribbon interface in O365.
2) Pin tab to start menu, with option to pin as an app (no browser chrome)
1) Floating menus
If the search and favorites bar are unpinned, they hide away from existence, giving more screen space to the user. By moving the mouse up to the top of the browser, they slide down from the top.
This will be great to give O365 web apps a more desktop-like feel, on a psychological level, and as a matter of screen real estate.
Bonus points to have a global default, but also an option to set it per tab.
UI proposal: Right-clicking on a tab would have the option to "hide menus in this Tab" - it would implicitly create a Favorite, to remember the setting. The setting would be per-domain.
2) Pin to start menu
This enables users to conveniently create shortcuts to frequently used sites, and in the case of sites that work as an app, to pin them as apps, where the browser menu would not show by default.
