Are you ever overwhelmed online? Horse Browser is a new web browser, designed to help you organise online research. As you browse, every link opens in a new page and saved on the Trail, a list of nested pages stored in your sidebar. This means you can keep track of research and say goodbye to messy tabs.
In this blog post, we’ll be answering the question ‘How do you create folders in Horse Browser?’.
Horse Browser replaces Tabs with its unique navigational method, named Trails. Every time you click on a link, Horse Browser opens a new page on the Trail, creating nested pages that track your online research.
Trails appear as vertical list in your sidebar and act as your History, Bookmarks and Tabs in one. Horse Browser tracks your research and saves your pages, much like a Notes App. You can shut down and re-open Horse Browser and everything you need is conveniently stored in one place.
To efficiently organise your online searches, it helps to group Trails, based on different subjects and tasks.
Many early users of Horse Browser asked the same question: 'When are you introducing Folders?'. After deep-diving online, they wanted to tidy up Trails into Folders, based on different research topics and tasks.
These requests inspired two types of Trails: Areas and Folders.
An Area is a Trail with a dedicated header, which acts as an umbrella container for a specific Area of your life or work. You might create an Area for your freelance projects, another Area for your personal admin and another Area for your day job. Areas can contain Trails, Folders and Notes.
A Folder is a Trail that begins with a Folder so you can create a clear filing system for your research and pages.
To open a new Folder, click on the folder icon at the top of the sidebar
