@ethanmenzel@josh_bodner I'll take this a step further. It should be easy to switch between each of the navigation focused side bars including collections, favorites, and history. How this switch is presented in the UI I can leave to others. My suggestion is to make the label in the upper left that today, the single word Collections, Favorites, and History, become a control with a down arrow to allow a quick switch between these three and anything else that is appropriate.

@HotCakeX Does it also fix the button not being as high as it should be? Like, if you mouse above it it doesn't react?

@Kam Yes, it will be in that.

@eduardobragaxz In my Canary install, clicking the button again does close the pane, regardless of whether or not it's pinned, so if you have Canary too, you might check there to see if yours does the same. If so, it should be in the next Dev!

@sudokai It looks like we've already got a bug in our database for this, so I'll make sure the owner is aware.

I guess I see it in a different way. To me, pinning it isn't setting it to a new state, you're just pinning there. It's either pinned or not. You're not setting it to be shown like that, you're just pinning it, and when it closes, it assumes you don't need it pinned anymore.
I understand what you mean, but I don't agree that it should work this way.
people requested sidebar for favorites, they did this to give us sidebar, but this isn't it, if they want to give us sidebar then we shouldn't go through all these steps to get it.
the Pin is wrong term there, it should be "convert to sidebar" instead

If they did this for two-page PDF's then they would need a horizontal scroll bar and I really like the idea. If you want an idea of what they should really do with two-page PDF's then try it in Microsoft word 365 it is great. That is what they should be doing with two page PDF's
Yeah having pages side by side and then still scrolling vertically, up and down, just feels weird.

@josh_bodner How do you update already installed Version 88.0.702.0 to this one automatically? apt update doesn't work.

@chdslv Sorry. it did update. Thanks.

In Linux:
There's still the search problem, SIGILL
Search the web with Bing is not enough. Search with Google is faster and has more entries. What is the possibility of including other search engines for the user to choose from, and make them default, at least on Linux?

@sudokai Looks like this will be fixed in the next Dev build. I'll ask to make sure it's not going to make it to Beta either!
Dec 03 2020 03:40 PM
@chdslv Is there some problem with not being able to change the search provider?
