I’ve been using 2 hidden features in Chrome and Edge called Tab Groups and Minimize Tab Groups, which let you assign a bunch of tabs to a group and minimize them down to a size the length of text that you named that group. Color coding too. Game changer.

You can enable them in the chrome://flags and edge://flags.



Color coding comes for free with containers in Firefox. I agree it makes things much easier.


Colored tabs are such an underrated feature. I loved them on OS/2.


I think a lot of tech companies would benefit from having a team that does nothing but install and run old software and operating systems to mine them for good features that have been forgotten.


Chrome has that too, but last I checked, they do not persist if you close the browser. Is edge any different?


In Edge it does persist for me. Seems to doesn't persists between updates.


Is there a way to persist the name, color across sessions. I'd love to be able to open all the bookmarks in a folder and then have them assigned to the same group/color. Then that way I can recreate one of a handful of different multi-tab environments at the start of each session.


I'm using it too, it's great. Also you may check the auto-create flag, allowing new tabs belonging to the source page's group.
