Open a few tabs for holiday shopping, Black Friday deals, and trip research, and your browser count quickly changes from a number to an infinity symbol. Browser tab groups offer a more organized approach to researching your upcoming trip and finding the best flight deals.
Tab groups function as digital folders for your open webpages. You can easily organize related tabs – such as work projects, travel planning research, or online shopping sprees – into neat bundles.
Most browsers, except Mozilla Firefox, have this feature built-in, requiring no setup. Here’s how to find and use tab groups:
- Right-click on a tab and select “Add tab to new group” (in Chrome, Edge, and Safari).
- Name your group descriptively, like “Work Projects,” “Travel Planning,” or “Holiday gifts.”
- Switch between groups with a single click to focus on specific tasks.
- Collapse groups to minimize visual clutter and declutter your workspace.
Benefits of using tab groups include:
- Productivity boost: Focus on one task at a time by isolating relevant tabs.
- Reduced distraction: Minimize the temptation to get sidetracked by irrelevant websites.
- Better organization: Find needed tabs quickly without frantic searching.
- Improved workflow: Streamline your browsing for work, research, or enjoyment.
I’ve already separated my work-related tabs into Chrome and personal tabs into Firefox, but having the ability to separate my open work tabs into groups will further simplify my workflow.
