I just got the update and love the sidebar customization. The only caveat is that there is no easy way to close a tab (not counting key shortcuts) without having to open the sidebar and click X that way. When it is a horizontal tab, the X is very upfront and easy to click. I was wondering if there would be any patch that would add a "close tab" button either to the right of the refresh button in the top left, or to the right of the "Open a new tab" button in the top right.

If there is already an easier way to close tabs, then I am all ears; the less clicks the better, and a more simple browser to operate!

Hi, the team doesn't have plans to offer a separate toolbar button, but there are different ideas to improve closing a tab in a collapsed state.

Helpful?

Hi! We're working on adding an on-hover close tab in the "collapsed" sidebar state. This work is still in progress, but should hopefully become available in release 135 (early February).
