Select multiple tabs
Should be able to select multiple tabs to delete or move
Do you have a plan to support bookmarks? It would be nice if the bookmarks could be shown in the side panel.
ARC Refugee here
ARC died a horrible death after they started Dia. Now Dia - never got it right - and they’re crashing and burning. Sad really. I guess Surf is going along with them. Comet, so far, is the only one that got it right … Even Atlas has glitches. But Comet, for some reason, hates side panels for browsing. Enter Side Space. AWESOME!! Side Panels!! AI Organization!! It’s a literal dream come true. Thanks…from an ARC Refugee.
Scroll between spaces
I thought it would be nice to be able to scroll between spaces by scrolling left-right, while the mouse is over the tabs panel. It would be really convenient when you are using touchpad. For mouse scrolling with its wheel + shift is also gonna be nice.
Collapse the vertical tab bar, uncollapse on hover
Implement a feature to collapse the vertical tab manager into a smaller vertical bar that displays only the space icons. When the user moves the mouse over this smaller vertical bar, it should automatically expand to show the full tab manager, with the space corresponding to the hovered icon. Benefits: Space Efficiency: Saves screen space by minimizing the tab manager when not in use. Quick Access: Allows users to quickly access and switch between tabs by hovering over the icons. Improved Navigation: Enhances user experience by providing a seamless transition between collapsed and expanded states.
Show Side Space when bumping againt the left or right edge of the browser window.
Seems like the sidebar can only be shown or hidden by using a keyboard stortcut. It would be great if it could show if hidden by hovering over the left or right browser edge.
A lot of bugs and missing features, but a bright future if done right.
Now that Arc is dead, there is a lot of advanced users that found Arc features invaluable for our work. Side Space is the right answer, no need to use a specific browser, just use your favorite browser and customize it like Arc. The problem is that it is a version 1.0 app and needs lots of work. I can contribute by alpha/beta testing and providing lots of ideas and input. Contact me if I can be of help to the project.
Change width size
It would be great if we’re able to drag and change to the width. The sidebar covers a bit too much of my screen for my liking.
Bottom part - quick way of opening new tab
Hello, in upper part, there is “New Tab“ button, on the bottom toolbar, there is “+“ menu where i can click and then choose New Chat/Space/Tab. Thats fine. But can on the bottom part be a quicker solution how to open tab with mouse? At least via some settings switcher? E.g.: doubleclick on the free space after the last tab → open new tab having “New tab“ on the bottom below the last tab → with this solution the upper “New tab“ button can disappear → and all my tabs will move up → i can fit there more tabs on the screen. it can be also on the bottom toolbar - now I need there two clicks - clicking”+” sign and then choose from the menu - quicker solution without hiding “new tab” functionality in the menu would be really handy. Becaus ehow many times people are clicking “New chat“ or “New space”? I guess not that often as new tab. Thanks for considering it. I really like your extension! Radek
🧠 Bulk “Smart Bookmarks” Manager (TabXpert-style)
Summary Add a panel to bulk organize, move, and clean up tabs/bookmarks/spaces—similar to TabXpert’s sessions UI—using Side Space’s existing labels/tags with nesting and collapse. Problem Standard bookmarks and one-by-one actions don’t scale for managing large working sets of tabs/spaces. Proposal A dedicated Bookmarks/Spaces Manager that supports: Multi-select across tabs, groups, and spaces. Drag-and-drop between folders/spaces; list reordering. Bulk actions: move, merge, delete, rename, archive, export/import. Labels & tags: reuse Side Space’s existing labeling/tagging system; enable batch apply/remove and filter by label/tag. Nesting & collapse: hierarchical folders/spaces with collapse/expand and hover-peek. Session tools: “Save current session,” restore windows + tab order, snapshot history. Search & filters: title, domain, label/tag; dedupe identical URLs with preview/undo. Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWHjcKg_Z7k

Drag tabs and pinned tabs to reorder
Should be able to drag tabs to reorder, also drag pinned tabs to reorder
Bug: No way to unpin a tab
There is no way to unpin a tab using Side Space, I guess it is because the right click menu is showing options for image and not the right menu for pinned tabs. In order to unpin a tab or manage the pinned tabs, the tab bar must be turned on, manage the tabs and then turn it back off.
Rename tab groups when in the sidebar
Firefox Support
Since Firefox support tabGroups API. We have decided to support the Firefox browser. Stay tuned.
Clear tabs button
It would be nice to have a clear button to close all unpinned tabs
Small number somewhere for total tab count
Bug — Dia Browser: nothing pops up
Issue: In Dia Browser, clicking the Side Space icon does nothing—no sidebar/UI appears and tabs aren’t detected. In Chrome, it works normally. Steps: Dia → install from Chrome Web Store → pin/click extension → no UI. Expected: Same behavior as Chrome (open panel, show/manage current tabs).
[Bug]: I can pin only the tab i am currently on
When I right-click on another tab to pin it, the tab I am currently on gets pinned instead.
Add the ability to change the shortcut to show and hide SideSpace
IMO, Arc's command-s is more convenient than command-shift-p since it can be typed with one hand while using a mouse (at least for right-handed users).
