Haha, we should integrate this into the browser we are building! https://github.com/browseros-ai/BrowserOS

Wow, this is cool!

You should open source this and let other people contribute and build apps that work inside this sim. I would love to build a version of our browser into this. (https://github.com/browseros-ai/BrowserOS)


Browser that helps FOCUS is a great insight!

We are working on best bookmark manager already.


Ohh, interesting!

Curious what is your use-case?


Chrome is the best browser and continually adding new features and improvements, but many useful extensions can no longer be used due to enforcing of Manifest v3. A version of Chrome that stayed up to date with the main branch, but still included support for v2 extensions would be ideal.


> Multiple profiles with different sets of cookies in the same window.

This would be cool, will look into this.

> Using a consistent design language. Don't use 4 sets of UI fonts and 7 color schemes in the same browser window.

Agree, we want to improve UI/UX much more. If you are designer/frontend engineer (or anyone reading is), please hit me up -- nithin[at]browserOS.com


Cool and thanks! Besides Arc no other Chromium-based browser allows this "multiple sessions on the same site in the same window" feature. Would be really nice to have it in another browser.

I'm not a designer, I just like nice stuff :)


Each profile with its own cookies, passwords, credit cards, etc...

Each profile is a different personae


This is a bold vision!

Framework-like laptop but for browser :)


We are adding command palette, that should be available soon!

What commands do you want in command palette, I can think of:

- tab, bookmark, history search

- would you want command palette with AI features? -- like "group my tabs", "close all tabs but this one", "summarize this page"


Yes, stuff like that. Another AI feature for example:

So -- and I assume this ties into arc type workspaces that you're also building --, I usually have multiple browser windows with multiple tabs each. Each window belongs to a "purpose". Sometimes due to procrastination etc etc it gets out of hand. When it does I get them all mixed up in one big window. I'd like an organize tabs thing that looks at existing organization if there is one, and classifies tabs into those.

Another one since you're here, and this is unrelated to command palettes, is research mode.

Often, we read up and learn about things in a top down fashion. This usually involves drilling down on a topic, filling out information on terms and sentences we don't quite understand through searches in another tab. We then have to tie that information back into the context of the main article. And do this recursively.

This is something AI can help with, search up on terms that we say, select, and then fill in information about that tailored to current context, right there inline.

Brave Leo AI tools for instance can currently summarise explain paraphrase etc but it's not too useful since I could just as well copy paste into chatgpt. At this level of integration though, it would be more useful.

Nothing to do with AI or command palettes, but recursive tabs is another thing that could be useful.

  dm_cache google search
    --- lkml post 1 (random detail 0)
    --- lkml post 2 (random detail 1)
          ---- doc.txt
          ---- lwn.net

I'm not sure if any of these would actually work and be practical, but just some random thoughts.


> One of the things I want from a browser is to fade to the background and to expose those applications as natively as possible at the OS level (e.g. I want to be able to put browser-based applications into my dock without having to download special electron wrappers for them.)

This would be awesome, thank you for sharing your feature request!

I loved the older version of Android which used to expose very single chrome tab as an app, that was a great UX as well.

Will add this to our list!


Thank you, this is a very well put vision/feature list!

We will prioritize this! I miss the above too -- vertical tabs, folders, command palette!


I used to use Evernote reader mode before, which did something like this!

Totally see the value. If you get a minute, please add it to our github issue, we will prioritize.
