It can also be enabled in Firefox Beta with "browser.tabs.groups.enabled" but it's still a bit buggy there. Ironically, Firefox was the first browser to have tab groups with Firefox 4 until they removed it because "nobody used it".


Opera 11 (Dec 2010) had 'tab stacking'.


Didn't knew that, interesting! Really miss the old Opera.


It's still a bit buggy in Nightly, it seems, over the last few days I keep triggering it on accident.


>with Firefox 4 until they removed it because "nobody used it".

Tab Groups remains a good idea on paper but no one has done a useful implementation of it. I remember during the Firefox 4 Tab Group era I purposed that Tabs from site ( Say HN ) and any Tabs opened from that site, for example I have another tab from this submitted links bugzilla.mozilla.org. All To be moved together into a tab group instead of just moving site to a tab group.

It was rejected for whatever reason.


This sounds a bit like an extension that nests tabs in a tree structure (I can't remember the name).



Both TST and Sidebery are leagues ahead of tab groups IMHO. Frankly sidebar tabs just work better for 16:9 aspect ratio because with a maximized window most sites don't make good use of 1/4 of the width anyway.


Huh? I use tab groups heavily in Brave. They're very useful, even if they're not nestable.

oh no. For some reason, the Microsoft's abortion makes tab groups when i move tabs, with no option to disable it.
