Having issues with the "Tasks" . I can create them on my PC but they are not starting when i press the "play" button. This does not happen on my mac. Also, should the tasks be the same when i switch from my pc to my mac and vice versa?

Why do they force me to sign in to use my browser?

Why would they force me to sign in to use my browser i don't understand? The sign in popup window was able to be closed until it wasn't. I hate forcing something on me when i clearly just wanna use my browser normally. Deleting it because of it.

No more ad blocking in YouTube

Since a few days ago YouTube ads are no longer blocked in my Sidekick browser. What's going on?

I really hope someone from this browser to read this

I hate this browser, and everyone should uninstall it.

  • Completely bug-ridden (even with privacy settings, they change your information in apps like Slack without giving you a way to block it; oh btw, support don't know the app settings so they will answer shit insted of solutions)
  • Makes you lose your sessions (if your computer shuts down, forget about using ctrl + shift + t across two monitors because they’ll just screw you over and say, "oh dear, press ctrl + shift + t" like they don’t even know where the crappy code causing this is)
  • Makes every video/animation lag because, in the end, it consumes more RAM than Chrome
  • Guys are cheapest MFs, and now they plan to charge for sessions and cut free features (even when they haven’t managed to fix the problem with multiple monitors)

I’m not a hateful person, but I’ve been developing for over 20 years, and I’m confident this is a crappy Chrome copy, even considering Chrome is a big pile of shit too: this is worse! A fake attempt at excellence. That’s my review. Hope you’re happy screwing with users’ data and making it all payed.

Now this is your final review after 6 months: sudo apt-get remove sidekick-browser-stable

Programmatically activate and change session?

I attempted to automate opening a url in a specific session and it seems the only options are sendkeys. Wondering if there is an API I could use?

Please help me get Sidekick Pro.

Please do me a favor and help me get the pro version of Sidekick. If so, I would be happy to help you with any tech support related problems within reason. This includes bluescreens of death, but be specific about what apps you use and what you did before it happened. Thank you. :)

Question about apps

Hey!

I was just wondering if there was a way to open the apps in the sidebar on top of the current screen, similar to in Floorp.

I guess also similar to split view in a way but the app is always on top if that makes sense?
Thanks

Please help me get a license for sidekick pro

https://join.meetsidekick.com/5apoq

Hi, I missed the opportunity to purchase a lifetime license for this browser on appsumo.

This browser is very easy to use but I would like to use more workspace.

If you could register sidekick through this invite URL, I would be very happy.

Thank you very much.

90% Off ($49) Pro Lifetime License on AppSumo

Dear everyone,

I highly recommend you take part in THIS DEAL ON APPSUMO20-person. For one more day, you can get a lifetime license for Sidekick Pro for ONLY $50!!!

I highly recommend you partake; because, if you're like me, you don't have enough friends that nerd out over browsers and the internet like we do, so you'll never reach that 20-person mark...

Sidekick pro help.

So i just started using this browser and im absolutly loving it so far, its literally just chrome with a 1000 extra features. Only i just found out that it has a pro subscription which i am not able to afford :/. if people want to help me out or didnt start using the browser yet feel free to use my referal code. If i get 20 people to use it, i get the pro for free.

Absolutely Atrocious Customer Service

I posted previously about the issue I had trying to use an AI assistant. I message customer service which was weirdly not easy to locate (theres a chat function if you open an empty page). Then after explaining my issue it took 8-10 hours for a response (I sent my message at like 9am). Then asked me to redo steps I'd already mentioned that I had done. I'll admit I may have been a bit rude/frustrated off the jump but the entire interaction left me with a sour taste in my mouth. For example they asked me to send a video of me encountering the issue while opening a the developer tools, specifically the console tab. In my recording I didn't switch over to the console tab so in their response they mentioned "as previously instructed" like 3 times and it just rubbed me the wrong way.

I'm not a programmer but like I'm not an idiot either and someone I spend my hard earned money with shouldn't act like that. There are tons of free browsers out there but I try to support projects like this one, not any more Opera? Vivaldi? Ferdium? someone is getting my money and it wont be Sidekick so I'm taking suggestions.

AI Co-Pilots/Assistants

So I'm trying to find a suitable AI Co-Pilot/Assistant mainly for searching an individual site, scraping some data, etc. Nothing too intensive. I tried Harpa.ai and Monica.ai and neither one seems to work as Harpa asks me to log into GPT/Claude and when I do it just keeps asking me to log-in and Monica just keeps loading my Sign In page.

So I'm thinking it might be a Sidekick specific issue. I used Liner for awhile and it worked ok but I was excited by Harpa, I wasn't sure if there was something similar that's a little more tuned to Sidekick or at least works. Thanks in advance (worth noting I have the Premium Subscription for Sidekick)

Bug Report: Sidekick Crashes on ESC Key Press on macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 with Apple M1 Pro

I'm currently using the Sidekick on an Apple M1 Pro running macOS Sonoma 14.2.1. I've encountered a bug that I wanted to share with you all, hoping for some insights or solutions.

Issue: Whenever I have the Sidekick UI open (like when using the search window) and press the ESC (Escape) key, the browser instantly shuts down. This is a bit inconvenient, and I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing similar issues.

I really love Sidekick but...

... I just can't see myself paying to use a web browser. I'm trying to see it as a personal organizer instead, but it's still too expensive.

Does anyone feel the same way? What would be other ways to contribute to the success of Sidekick and have them eventually provide the browser for free (apart from sharing the referral link, I mean)?

Experiencing extremely laggy typing?

This could be related to the Youtube anti-ad blocker scripts Google started to use.
