Preview: These docs are available early so you can start using them now. Some pages may still be incomplete, outdated, or change as WebLibre develops.

Toolbar & Layout

Use Settings > Toolbar & Layout to change how WebLibre places tabs and toolbar controls on screen. These options mainly affect comfort, reachability, and how much page space the browser uses.

Tab Bar Position

Open Settings > Toolbar & Layout > Tab Bar Position and choose one of these options:

  • Top — Keeps the tab bar at the top of the screen.

  • Bottom — Places the tab bar at the bottom for easier one-handed reach.

If you prefer using the phone with one hand, Bottom is usually the easier option.

Tab Bar Style

Open Settings > Toolbar & Layout > Tab Bar Style and choose how much information each tab shows:

  • With Title — Shows the page title and URL breadcrumb.

  • Compact — Shows a centered URL pill without the page title.

Choose Compact if you want a cleaner look, or With Title if you want more context while switching tabs.

Auto Hide Tab Bar

Turn on Settings > Toolbar & Layout > Auto Hide Tab Bar to hide the tab bar while you scroll. This gives more room to the page content.

When you scroll back, the tab bar appears again. With the tab bar at the top, WebLibre describes the top position as persistent, so auto-hide is most useful with the bottom layout.

Contextual Toolbar

Turn on Settings > Toolbar & Layout > Show Contextual Toolbar to show an additional bottom toolbar for navigation and actions.

To change its buttons, open Settings > Toolbar & Layout > Customize Toolbar Buttons. On that screen you can:

  • drag buttons to change their order,

  • turn individual buttons on or off,

  • set a fallback for some buttons, and

  • use Reset to Defaults if you want to start over.

Some buttons also show a long-press hint in the customization screen. That means pressing and holding the button in the browser can open extra actions.

Fallback Buttons

Some toolbar buttons are state-dependent. For example, a primary action may only make sense when a page is in a certain state.

WebLibre can let you assign a fallback button for those cases. That means the toolbar space stays useful instead of becoming dead space when the main action is unavailable.

Long-Press Actions

Some buttons also support long-press actions.

Examples can include:

  • history menus from the back or forward buttons

  • extra tab creation choices from tab buttons

  • add or remove bookmark actions

  • a hard refresh on reload

The customization screen shows these hints so you know which buttons do more than a simple tap.

Quick Tab Switcher

Turn on Settings > Toolbar & Layout > Show Quick Tab Switcher Bar to show an extra bar for jumping between tabs without opening the full tab view.

You can then adjust these related options:

  • Quick Tab Switcher Mode — Choose Recently Used Tabs or Container Tabs.

  • History Fallback in Quick Tab Switcher — Shows browsing history suggestions when there are no tab chips to show.

  • Show Titles in Quick Tab Switcher — Shows tab titles next to icons.

The Container Tabs mode only appears if container UI is enabled elsewhere in the app.

Tab View

The tab view is the screen that shows all open tabs. In Settings > Toolbar & Layout, you can change how it appears:

  • Bottom Sheet Tab View — Opens the tab view as a sheet from the bottom instead of full screen.

  • Show Favicons in List View — Uses website icons instead of page thumbnails in the tab list view.

If Bottom Sheet Tab View is off, the tab view opens full screen.

Tips

  • Use the contextual toolbar if you want more navigation power without opening menus as often

  • Use fallbacks to avoid wasting space on state-dependent buttons

  • Keep long-press-capable buttons visible if you use their extra actions often

  • Use Reset to Defaults if the toolbar starts to feel harder to use than before
