Or, you know, just use bookmarks.

#33I could've sworn Firefox already had tab groups, though I may be thinking of container tabs...

#34Oh god. I hope that doesn't break the plugin I use (can't remember because I'm away from the computer), the one I had to install when they phased out the "panorama" feature.

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.
I use Chrome on Android and have never noticed a tab group. Admittedly I don't use the browser extensively, but still. On iOS, which seems to be very similar, I've seen the "open in new tab group" button, but never used it.

>with Firefox 4 until they removed it because "nobody used it". Tab Groups remains a good idea on paper but no one has done a useful implementation of it. I remember during the Firefox 4 Tab Group era I purposed that Tabs from site ( Say HN ) and any Tabs opened from that site, for example I have another tab from this submitted links bugzilla.mozilla.org.

#37Exciting! Firefox used to support tab groups and removed them in 2016 because they weren’t used enough. Now that Safari has them, I guess there’s pressure to have feature parity?
They took the most upvoted ideas from the community forum and started implementing them. Maybe to win some users over, but I think it might be too late for this to have any impact on market share. I'm also kinda disappointed they just copied the UI from Chrome instead of releasing a refreshed version of the previous implementation. Old Firefox tab groups were like Safari tab groups (or "workspaces" in Edge, Vivaldi,…
The chrome implementation is way better than of Safari. I don't use the Safari tab groups because they lack features like pinned groups which i need to find it useful.

The Chrome tab groups are less useful as they don't really present a single workspace with only the tabs from that group, they are just literally a grouping of tabs all within a single workspace.
I use tab groups to switch tabs based on projects and I want full separation of those tab groups. The Chrome and new Firefox groups don't do that.
