is an implementation of Arc's Easels possible?

[aleislost]

Hello!

I was wondering if an implementation of something that does what Arc's easels do is possible, basically letting you create an special customizable tab that lets you take snippets of different websites that update in real time. This was a major feature that attracted me to Arc initially, before the whole chromium thing and then noticing easels are not even available on Windows and then uninstalling instantly.
This is such a major thing that caught my attention first time with Arc, and when i discovered this browser I instantly wondered if this would be possible or was implemented already, to my surprise it wasn't, so i figured "Well, I'll suggest it myself"

_{I dunno what is your stance of your project being compared to other browsers or being suggested features from those, so I'm just curious}

I don't find it's worth to add feature like that, Easel in that Chromium-based browser just like Whiteboard, no?

Yes, but you can basically take screenshots and add them to it all in one click (2 if you crop) from what I understand, and I think that could be useful. But what would ik, I'm a windows user and they forgot we existed like the rest of the community...

The beauty of easels lie in the fact they are screenshots but live. You get live information and updates from the pages they belong from.
So say you set an easel tab as the start page, then you can have information like weather, live news, notifications from websites, and practically anything.

For example, my use would be putting on display the progress of some projects I personally follow like pretendo.network, game development, etc without having to look for the website every time but just having it accessible after booting up

Rebumping this one to see if we can get more eyes on it!! Really aching for this to be considered for implementation

Basically easels are like split tabs on steroids where you can fit much more than 4 tabs on your screen by choosing only specific parts of your chosen pages to be shown. I.e instead of showing you the whole page, easel only shows you what you have selected on that page, like a small window, thus allowing much more pages to be shown at once on the same page with only with specific info you are interested in.
This feature is very demanding, performance-wise and devtime-wise as I imagine numerous possible bugs related to it.

I figured as much. If anything it would be extremely low-priority I assume
