Horse Browser is a new web browser designed to help you stay organised online. Every link you click opens a new page on the Trail, a nested list of pages stored in your sidebar. This lets you see exactly how you navigated to each site, eliminating the clutter of traditional tabs.
Why is the Sidebar so important?
The Sidebar is where the magic happens in Horse Browser. It’s where your Trails of pages are stored. And it's where you can re-arrange your Trails and pages to create your own research and productivity system.
➤ How to open the Page Options menu in the Sidebar
When you right-click a page or click ••• next to a page in the Sidebar, the Page Options menu will appear. It includes many useful features.
You can choose the following options in the Menu:
Rename - change the name of your page to its own unique name
Change icon - customise your Trail with a personalised icon or emoji
Edit link - edit and change the URL you are currently viewing
Copy link - copy the current URL
Copy Trail - copy your current Trail to Markdown
Back - navigate back from your current page
Forward - navigates forward from your current page
Reload - reloads your current page
Open Page - opens a new page on the Trail
DevTools - Untoggles developer tools
Permissions - Enable or disable webcam and microphone access, and more
New Folder - Create new Folder on the Trail
New Note - Create new Note on the Trail
New Site - Create new SubTrail
Delete - Delete your current page
➤ The layout of the Sidebar
New Trails, Folders, Areas and Notes open by default at the top of your Sidebar, although you can drag-and-drop your pages and Trails to wherever you wish.
You can open new Trails, Folders, Areas and Notes by clicking the icons at the top of the Sidebar. Each of these features will open by default at the top of your Sidebar.
When you view Downloads and History in Horse Browser, these will appear as lists at the bottom of your Sidebar.
➤ How to hide the Sidebar
To collapse the sidebar click << at the top of the Sidebar. Hiding the Sidebar is a useful option if you want to do some deep focus work on a specific page. Perhaps you need to draft a long email, read a research paper or tweak a design layout. This feature gives you plenty of screen real estate and your Trails are waiting for you when you expand the sidebar again.
