I really like Firefox's current tab groups and wish that Chrome provided similar functionality. For me a better method would be to have the tab itself be the group "parent" and expand when clicked. For example: I'm on reddit's front page. I'll open links in new tabs, then go to them later. It'd be great to have those auto-group under the parent front page tab and hide out of view until later. Are there videos, or any screenshots of what this current implementation looks like? Like you said (and the GitHub readme explains) they don't really know what they're doing yet, but it'd be nice to see how it differs in its current state from traditional browsers, and might even convince me to give it a try.

Opera had tab group behavior like you describe when it introduced tab groups ahead of the other browsers. I'm not sure of the situation now since they based their browser off chromium. You can get the right kind of behaviour using the Tree Style Tabs extension in Firefox, which is highly customizable. I've had a vertical tab bar for about a decade now and I couldn't imagine using a "traditional browser interface".

  I used to use Opera but a lot of sites don't think that Opera is a real browser and show incompatibility messages. I used to use Firefox but it felt a little clunkier than Safari and Chrome and was not as performant. It's been a while since I used the tree tab extension but if I remember correctly it wasn't too attractive.

  +1 for Tree Style Tabs; combined with "suspended" tabs, it provides exactly what I need: a lightweight, integrated system for short term bookmarks.

  Foremost thank you for the link; that does look great. It has quite possibly the most thoughtful(?) release notes I have ever seen for a Chrome extension, and the author also took efforts to address any privacy concerns, which I thought was nice.

  I used it for some time, but it just keeps adding "crashed" sessions and it quickly goes out of control. I used it on my Chromebook and every shutdown or reboot meant me crashed session and other important sessions are left buried down.
