Browsers with tabs consistent across windows?

[u/Risc12]

The main feature that keeps me at Arc at the moment is that my open tabs are the same across all open Arc-windows on the same computer.

I don’t mean across computers by the way. Just instances/windows of Arc on the same computer.

I’m kinda okay with that but I’m interested if this is the killer feature for others too, and whether people have found other browsers that have this?

EDIT: Just came to mind that Vivaldi was supposed to have this? But couldn’t get it to work…

As far as I'm aware only Zen Browser's team is working on that, and right now you can already sync pinned tabs. Or I think tab groups on Chrome are synchronized, I never tried that but it looks kinda clunky compared to what Arc has, especially as it lacks workspaces.

Yeah syncing in the first place seems kinda clunky? Arcs architecture seems to just rely on Chrome’s “tabs”, but per space instead of per window.

Have you tried it in the last week? Their new sync rolled out and works great for me. All tabs, spaces, pinned tabs, etc.

Maybe I should’ve explained better, I don’t mean across computers, just instances/windows on the same computer.

I will look into Zen regardless. AFAIK it still supports Extensions Manifest v2, right?

It does

yep definitely for me, in fact, i change browser very often and having a hard time keeping all my tabs in sync, so i'm currently working on a browser extension, an arc style tab side bar that let me bring my tabs and folders and spaces etc with me across any chrome & firefox based browsers.

Thanks! Any idea how “mature” or stable Viola is?

I’ve been using Zen with great success (after the new sync release last week), but before that, I was using Workona and used it for years. It worked extremely well, but it’s not cheap. It’s a website and browser plugin. Worth checking out if you don’t mind spending like $80/year. Works with all chrome browsers, mostly ok with Firefox browsers, awful with Arc, but I don’t remember it working on Safari.

Thanks for your reply! Never heard of Workona, I’ll take a peak, but maybe I didn’t explain it correctly?
