Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature - Lemmy.World

Finally. Now my thousands of tabs will be hidden behind hundreds of tabs groups!
For real, I already have different groups for tabs, they’re called windows.

This is the part I absolutely don’t get about this. Plus windows create a better visual boundary for the context-switch tab groups are supposed to be as you minimize one and restore another.

Why not just use windows? 🤷 I sure hope they keep the implementation of this simple and end up just doing that for the user. Create new tab group -> color-coded new window opens up, gently nudging the user towards how simple the solution to their problem actually is.

Every instance of the same program eats memory
Tab groups in chrome are something I dearly miss from chrome. It’s super convenient for grouping projects and quickly switching between them. Multiple windows is a worse experience: there’s no preview favicon or anything to indicate what a window is actually for until you hover over it. With a tab I can see at a glance what something is before I switch.
