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'.

Tab Groups remains a good idea on paper but no one has done a useful implementation of it.

All To be moved together into a tab group instead of just moving site to a tab group.
It was rejected for whatever reason.

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
What does it mean for tab groups to be enforced? Is it popping up messages to shame you into sorting your tabs better? Assuming not, what’s the harm?
Have you used Chrome for Android? It's absolutely awful and forced me to switch to another browser. All tabs are opened in a tab group, sometimes they will open a new tab group. Very confusing behaviour. The desktop implementation is good though.
So I'm not the only one. I never figured out why sometimes tabs open in an existing group, and sometimes in a new group. Curious to find the spec which explains the behavior...

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