Web: Use sidebar for Preferences
With items continuing to creep into the preferences panel of Epiphany, as well as proposals to add settings for things like Extensions, Sync, and Advanced browser config, the current layout with a view switcher is becoming less than ideal to fit everything under. We also have sidebar widget improvements coming to libadwaita, so it is probably worth exploring a preferences window with a sidebar layout.
This mockup is mostly a restructuring/reorganization of the existing preferences and pulling in some ideas from other concepts (namely the mockups for extensions and Firefox sync) to fill some areas that could (or should) live in preferences.
Open questions I have are:
- is this too much of a breakdown of the existing preferences panel, to where it's now harder to find settings?
- does this actually improve preferences navigability?
- do we actually want to have all of these things live in Preferences?
