Option to enable "dynamic resize" by default, auto-hiding top bar in web sessions, and open connection in new tab

A few requests in order of importance to me
I think it would be great to be able to enable "dynamic resize" in web RDP sessions by default:
Also, would it be possible to have the top bar be auto hiding and have it appear on mouse hover? I've seen other web RDP solutions implement something similar as a floating button that expands on hover. I think that extra bit of screen real estate on the top would make a huge difference, especially on smaller laptop screens.
And finally, would it be possible to have an option to open the connection in a new tab? I think this would be a great for that extra screen real estate without having to go full screen.
Thank you so much for the consideration. This is a great suite of products and I am a huge fan.

Hi Chris,
1. Dynamic resize as a default option - good idea. This will be in the next release.
2. Auto-hiding toolbar - this currently only happens when the window is full-screen. This feature has been requested and our UX team will look at it.
3. Open connection in a new tab - we are already looking at ways to improve the display of web connection sessions, such as showing multiple windows of web connections in a single screen or popping out connections into new windows. We will add this to the list!
Thank you for the valuable feedback. Please don't hesitate to reach out if anything else comes to mind.
