Description

Description

Currently, we don't have a very intuitive way to close the minibrowser widget, one has to use the context menu, i.e. right click on the icon in the side area.

It would be nice to have the close icon there and also the context menu should work from the title the same way as in the main area.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Go to > Preview: Open Url
  2. Type any URL
  3. There is no close icon and also no context menu

OS and Theia version: Theia 0.8.0
