Just a reminder, we recently re-enabled the AutoHide and Follower Tab features and we still want feedback on these. For anyone that does not recall how follower tab works, right‑click a link and select “Open Link In → Open Link as Follower Tab”. The new tab tiles alongside your main one, and any further links you click in the main tab will automatically open in the follower.
