The ability to mute tabs without making it a full domain level mute across any other tabs that are also using that website. Some websites use a video player level mute plus the fact that the tab is in the background/occluded as a signal to downgrade the video or sometimes powersave on your behalf and that’s just frankly annoying when you’re trying to keep tabs on all your friend’s Twitch streams.
Fine tune that vertical tabs left sidebar so its not so willing to think you deliberately made your mouse leave its range so it sinks back into the side. Gotta put a nice smooth happy pillow range around it that extends inward to the left but mostly out to the right.
Yeah View > Developer > Developer Tools isn’t that hard to get to but have you considered that more useful things could be on the right side of the browser window? That Ask ChatGPT right sidebar section could have more sidebars. heck, could have a hamburger menu over there too like Edge. It could just be me but for whatever reason it isn’t my first instinct while in macos to need to ever use the Menu Bar Menus because there is usually a “on chrome” way to get to the same places. But maybe that is outdated of me to think since Apple brought the Menu Bar to iPadOS with Liquid Glass.
I want a little .glassEffect() up here plus a more clearly defined omnibar, sink that bar down into a little engraved well and stop making it think i want to use it when i’m clicking literally anywhere i’ve triggered that bar so many times while attempting to click in what i thought was free and empty space to drag the window.
Oh one more i just remembered.
Why does the Downloads get ANGRY and want to violently remind you HEY YOU DOWNLOADED SOMETHING 15MIN AGO I’M SURE YOU WANT ME TO WIGGLE AROUND AND SHOW YOU THE DOWNLOADS IN MY TUMMY SO YUMMY!!!
Sorry, its annoying, my ADHD memory works fine thank you very much.
The Downloads Popup:
Oh, that’s “open” right? like, a slight squarecircle with an arrow pointing to the Ask ChatGPT sidebar means open in a normal local app. yes, yes it does. but where is the dismiss this download from the list? do i swipe left with the motion of my mouse? NOOOO don’t do that, now i’m moving around a handle to the file to open the file wherever i land my mouse unless i hit ESC. ok, so you can’t clean the download list from the popout downloads button? OH ok, i can click on View > Downloads and then click the X next to the download. I’ll rarely if ever do that. would be better if it was on that popout trigger that is actually invisible until you start a download.
Copy/Paste stops working with Cyrillic keyboard layouts Ctrl/Cmd+C and Ctrl/Cmd+V don’t copy/paste inside Atlas when the OS input source is switched to a Cyrillic layout (works fine when switched back to Latin/English).
ChatGPT shortcuts don’t work on the “new tab” screen On a blank/new tab screen in Atlas, ChatGPT-specific shortcuts (e.g., Cmd+U to attach a file) don’t respond unless a chat is already active.
Feature Request: Multi-tab context + tiling “workspace” modeAllow a single Atlas chat thread to attach multiple open tabs as context sources (not just the active tab), so the assistant can compare/synthesize across pages.
UI suggestion: a tiled workspace (Windows 3.11 / tiling WM-style) where each tile is a “tab source” with an address (e.g., [A], [B], [C]). The chat can reference tiles explicitly (“Compare A and C,” “Rewrite B based on constraints in A”).
Why it matters: most serious workflows are parallel (research, writing, worldbuilding, analysis). Tabs are linear; tiling is relational. This turns Atlas from a single-tab annotator into a multi-source research collaborator.
We at Vis Fitness are super interested in supporting WebMCP, which is now in early preview in Chrome. We’d love to see this in Atlas as well. Is this on the roadmap?
My email is in my profile if you want to talk about the use case, but we believe there is a lot of value in users being able to use their own intelligence layer to drive rich applications. The results we have so far with WebMCP are really proving this.
Please allow to switch between profiles in same browser window instead of opening new ones. Give a shortcut or swipe gesture to switch between profiles easily (similar to space switching in Arc browser)
Three-finger tap lookup on macOS works on chrome but not on Atlas.
A lot of times mouse clicks register slightly above the actual position when tabs are hidden, which is frustrating since hidden tabs help me focus.
A proper session manager since I have 20 windows with 10 tabs each and don’t want them hogging my RAM and manage windows every time I update the browser
Also, it would be great to have:
Better developer tools (so I don’t need to switch to Firefox Dev).
A better bookmarks manager with easy drag-and-drop and button to access all the bookmarks without getting into settings, like Chrome.
Include keyboard shortcut text when hovering over buttons so power users can remember the shortcuts and don’t have to take their hands off the keyboard.
It would be very useful to have a built-in page translation feature in Atlas (e.g., via right-click context menu or an address bar icon).
Currently, the lack of a “Translate page” option feels like a significant gap compared to modern browsers like Chrome, where this feature is standard and seamlessly integrated.
Without it, working with foreign-language websites becomes much less convenient and requires switching to external tools, which disrupts the workflow.
Ideally:
Right-click > Translate to [language]
Or a quick toggle in the address bar
Automatic language detection
This feels like a basic but essential feature for a modern browser.
I’d love to see Codex integrate more directly with Atlas so it can control my existing browser tabs and session instead of opening a separate window like we do with playwright, chrome devtools, browser-use etc. That would make agentic browsing much smoother and more useful in day-to-day workflows.
A native integration with the current browser context would be a big improvement for tasks like research, testing, and web automation.
