They say they will come up with a solution in the future. Side Tabs are pretty much ESSENTIAL for me, and nothing I have tried works as well. Once this Google solution is out I will try it, and if it works for me, then I may upgrade.

The side tab was implemented to solve tab overflow issue. I wouldn't have my hopes up on the solution to come any soon.

this build has a tab overflow implementation

Once it becomes stable, I will give it a go. I always have a full column of tabs 20-30+ and having them up top is ridiculous!

^Chrome had this before in the dev-builds. Not sure how long ago but it was before I switched from Chrome to Firefox which is at least roughly 2 years ago. Switched back to Chrome last week after being annoyed by Firefox locking up at launch and other things.

There seems to be a issue with the bookmarks bar, in my bookmarks bar I have just other bookmarks in the bookmarks bar, before when i would click on it it would fill that whole side with my saved bookmarks and I could scroll through them, in this build which is 21.0.1152.0 all i get is a little pop up at the bottom right corner, so instead of seeing alot of them, i see 1 at a time

Didn't you mention this last time? I really think you need to update your browser. Better security and I think it's faster as well. Don't live in the past man :p

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
