Yalqen

I built Yalqen as a free, open-source Chromium browser for developers on macOS. It brings vertical tabs, a keyboard-first command bar, built-in ad blocking, and Chromium DevTools together, with request rules and phone view for everyday web development. I would love feedback on the keyboard workflow and developer tools. Source code: https://github.com/YSamed/yalqen

Since unpacked extensions are supported: do MV3 surfaces like the side panel (chrome.sidePanel) and the toolbar action popup work the way they do in Chrome? Some Chromium-based browsers load extensions fine but drop the side panel, so that's the first thing I'd check before using it to test one.

Vertical tabs plus a command bar is a combo I'd actually try, especially with pinned tabs per project. Is there a way to save a set of tabs as a workspace and reopen it with a single command? Also, since it's Apple Silicon only for now, a line on the landing page about whether Intel Macs are planned would save some people a download.

The combination of request rules and phone view is useful for checking responsive apps. One concrete edge case I would want documented: can a request rule mock a failed API response for one development tab without affecting other tabs using the same host? A short example of the rule scope, and how to reset it, would make the debugging workflow much clearer.

Having the phone view presets and network throttling in the same window covers most of what we check on a small web tool: narrow screens and slow connections are where layouts break first. Is the throttling setting per tab or for the whole window?
