I left a comfy job at Google to build an indie web browser, turn it into a sustainable business, and name it after my favorite pie. (As if that wasn’t already hard enough.)

Haha that's the Quiche ᴘʟᴜꜱ logo though 😅
I need to keep that one aside for _something else_...

It does work very well, except that horizontally scrolling can get tedious when a lot of tabs are open.
In QB I use the large grid mode because it makes thumbnails tall enough to always be within reach. But I badly want to prototype a new mode with full size thumbnails AND retain quick scrolling.

The Browser logo? Put as is, it might feel out of place, too generic, and not visually consistent with other button symbols.
But if someday I manage to design a truly distinctive logo, using it as the menu button might work! 😅

But tab groups are definitely something I'd like to do someday! I suppose whether they would be contained or not could be offered as an option, but I can't promise much until building an actual prototype and see how it feels :)

Regarding your other requests, why not using private tabs?

100% regarding the lack of tab gestures. I’m currently focusing on a large bunch of improvements to the tabs experiences, and gestures are going to a big part of that.

And when using their sidebar mode, whenever the tab list is tall enough to become scrollable, the first item is located at the top of the screen, out of thumb reach.

I don’t feel items located at the very bottom are more comfortable to reach, as it can require folding the thumb if they’re too close to holding hand.
Comparatively, the vertical mid/bottom area feels easier to reach, at least on my iPhone Air and my large hands.

Now that I had a try, I don’t understand the problem this is solving.
The thumbnail height is so tall that even when located at the top most position, its bottom area is right above the screen’s vertical bottom half, where thumb reach is easy.

Okay but there's only 2 tabs open in that example.
How does it make the first, top-most tabs more easier to reach if the list contains 10 tabs?

Fix coming in 1.68.1, currently in App Store review 🙏

Looking at Orion, their paradigm doesn't solve reachability in long scrollable lists. The top-most item will always sit at the top of the screen.

Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback. I could really use some!
Do you mean reversing the order of tabs and suggestions, with the first at the bottom, the second above it, and so forth?
In my testing, reversing the ranking order felt counter-intuitive, especially for an iOS app.

At any rate, that’s definitely a bug. Great catch as always, thank you! 🙏🙇🏻♂️

I haven't noticed it or received any report like that. Might be specific to some websites?

It should be ready for App Store Review on Friday or Saturday.

Only for backward-compatibility, apparently.

Nice catch! Quiche Browser doesn't know how to parse `oklch()` CSS colors as used on your site. I had never heard of them until now, so thanks ☺️
I also believe Safari 26 has stopped using `theme-color`, and so did QB, but only with the Glass theme.
Adding to the list! 🙏
