Finally. Now my thousands of tabs will be hidden behind hundreds of tabs groups!
-
For real, I already have different groups for tabs, they're called windows.
-
But now I will be able to have tabs within groups within windows within desktops!
-
Fascinating. -
What about tabs within groups within windows within profiles within desktops?
-
-
This is the part I absolutely don't get about this. Plus windows create a better visual boundary for the context-switch tab groups are supposed to be as you minimize one and restore another.
Why not just use windows? 🤷 I sure hope they keep the implementation of this simple and end up just doing that for the user. Create new tab group -> color-coded new window opens up, gently nudging the user towards how simple the solution to their problem actually is.
-
Tab groups in chrome are something I dearly miss from chrome. It’s super convenient for grouping projects and quickly switching between them. Multiple windows is a worse experience: there’s no preview favicon or anything to indicate what a window is actually for until you hover over it. With a tab I can see at a glance what something is before I switch.
-
Every instance of the same program eats memory
-
-
-
I really don’t understand people who don’t close tabs. I start with a fresh browser window multiple times per day.
-
We start with a fresh browser window multiple times per day too. Except we also have multiple other windows of tabs minimized already.
-
This reminds me that I once "accidentally" closed about half of those windows - each ~200 tabs - of my then GF. Took her over a month to notice. Tells you all about how useful tab hoarding actually is.
-
This guy gets it.
-
-
You might still need those tabs though. You probably don't, but you might.
-
You're right, I don't. And since browsers come with this really neat feature called "history", it's not like I couldn't trivially re-open them again as needed.
-
It's far easier to have your history cluttered than you might think, and then finding the sites that you need or might need becomes harder.
-
Exactly. Whereas my 1000+ semi-ordered tabs are way less cluttered.
-
-
Yeah but you might forget that you need those tabs. Maaaybe they weren't that important then, but maybe they are.
-
I think that "weren't that important" indeed hints at how I keep/toss stuff IRL, too.
I toss a lot of shit. I don't keep stuff around for that one hypothetical use case that might crop up in 5 years. Most stuff sells surprisingly well second-hand, and this frees up a lot of money I had otherwise lying around doing fuck all for me.

-
I don't have enough time in the day or week or month or year to do everything I want to, so I keep my tabs open until I chip away at them one at a time. It takes a long time, but it doesn't mean that the tabs aren't useful to me and won't remain useful months later.
-
That's me with YouTube videos, sometimes I would see a video on recommended that interests me but don't have time to watch it immediately, I have to open it on a new tab otherwise I would never find it again. Sometimes it takes me days to find the time to watch it.
-
You can add interested videos to playlist "Watch later" and it will available on all devices with your account
-
I don't log in to YT to watch any videos, I alao use Newpipe and Stube sans account. Grouping them in Tabs to get to is great for me.
-
I very rarely visit that page. I actually have videos there saved from years ago.
-
-
-
Why not just bookmark the tabs? Put them in a folder in your bookmark bar called "To Do" or something and they'd all be right there.
-
Cuz then I'll have thousands of bookmarks like I already have now
-
Here's the fun part - I already do that. Bookmarks are for ultra-long-term links (1-2+ years minimum), tabs are for short-to-long term links (1 day to 1 year).
-

-
I only have this behavior on mobile. Idk why
-
-
A handy to when it comes to closing tabs: mouse wheel down anywhere on the tab label closed the tab, no need to find the little 'x'.
Related: mouse wheel down on a link opens that link in a new tab.
-
I have one tab per email account. A few for github issues I’m waiting to be fixed. One which is some random search I just use as reminder. None of which I have closed in months. I literally have a script to boot them up on my second monitor everytime I boot my pc.
-
-
This is unironically the truth.
-
JUST WHAT I WANTED!
