The sidebar in Horse Browser does the work that tabs, history, and bookmarks all tried to do separately. Most of the small features that make day-to-day browsing comfortable live there. Here are the ones worth knowing.
The page options menu
Right-click a page in the sidebar (or click ••• next to it) to open the page options menu.
The menu includes:
- Edit link: change the URL of this page
- Copy link: copy the URL
- Set name: rename the page so it reads as something you'll recognise later
- Set icon: add an emoji or icon
- Back / Forward / Reload: the usual moves
- Open Page: start a new page on the same Trail
- Close Page: remove this page (recoverable; ⇧ ⌘ T brings it back)
Sidebar layout
New Trails open at the top by default. Drag any Trail or page to put it where you want. + at the top of the sidebar opens a new Trail.
When you open Downloads or History, they show up as lists at the bottom of the sidebar.
Hiding the sidebar
Click ‹‹ at the top of the sidebar to collapse it. Useful when you want a page to take up the whole window without distraction. Long emails, research papers, design layouts.
Click the same icon to bring the sidebar back. Trails are still where you left them.
