Hopefully they won't make it mandatorily enabled like on Android Chrome.

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.

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'.
