#2What I want is tab groups by concept or activity. Let’s say I’m looking for info on a new grill I’d start a new tab session and give it a quick name of ”grill” and it’d group all tabs and history under that. I could expand and collapse it and otherwise go back to other things tab groups.

I may have misunderstood your request, but the feature you want (Tab group) was recently added:

This may be what you're looking for, I've been using it for a few weeks now and it's really useful. I use it in conjunction with Notion and they have been a power-duo.

#6Smart idea to utilize the new grouping feature! One thing I didn't realize until recently, you can click on a tab group name to collapse/expand the whole group.

#7neat idea, but it doesn't respect pinned tabs, and the UI is buggy. uninstalled for now.

I use the Tree Style Tab addon in Firefox for exactly that purpose. The addon doesn't have the concept of named groups, it is just an extension to organize tabs in a tree... but that's more than enough.
Starting with a keyword search on the parent tab, all subsequent links are opened in child tabs that can be expanded / collapsed. When collapsed, the parent tab's title are the keywords, so it's a nice visual way to have the whole sub-tree "filed" into a single named entry.
There are even a couple extras that allow me to long-middle-mouse-click a parent tab, and it unloads from memory the whole sub-tree. It's a pretty neat addon!

Who cares if you uninstalled it? The dev made something out of creativity. For you to think your usage matters is insane. Just give feedback or stay quite.
