With this functionality you can group tabs in Chrome and Edge to facilitate your daily work

Microsoft Edge in its version based on Chromium continues to make people talk with improvements and innovations that already serve to inspire a rival alternative on the market such as Chrome, the Google browser. Both share the same engine and therefore mutual influence is to be expected

"

Normally and due to the time it has been on the market, the logical thing is that the young Edge is inspired by Chrome to add improvements and new functions. That is why it is surprising that this time it is the other way around and it is the Google browser that takes one of the functions present in Edge such as Tab Groups "

"

An experimental feature that can be accessed via the command Chrome://flags that we write in the browser bar. The same system as in the Microsoft browser, although in this case we will use the command Edge://flags (always without the quotes). "

Improving usability

This new feature allows users to save a group of tabs in the browser and when they launch it again , these can be loaded together. It is something that can be very useful when we regularly work with different tabs open, since we avoid accessing them manually and at the same time facilitates the organization of work.

"

The process is very simple. Once we write Chrome://flags, we must search for Tab Groups although we will use the name in English Tab Groups . We are going to use the search box to save time."

"

Once located we see how three options appear Default, Enabled and Disabled. With default checked by default, we select Enabled>"

"

The function is already active and to be able to use it we must click with the right button of the trackpad or the mouse on a tab and select Add to a new group ."

This will create a new group in which you can add more tabs so that they will all be saved when you close Google Chrome to reopen them at any time.

"

To do this we have to enter Chrome in the tab History and we will see how an option appears with the title X tabs>number of tabs we have saved . These are fully reopened."

"

In the case of Edge, the steps are the same, except for the initial order, because we will use Edge://flags instead of Chrome://flags. These are the steps to follow to enable Tab Groups>"
