Tab groups also exist in chrome, brave and edge (was behind a flag last time I checked), and presumably other chromium-based browsers too

- sixothree 5y agoI use tab groups on Edge. I consider it a killer feature. I especially like the auto group feature. I start a search and every link I open in a new tab is added to the group (which is collapsible). I do a lot of spec digging doe my work. It’s not uncommon to have 3 or 4 tabs per data type with many data types.

- shiloa 5y agoI'm familiar with it as extensions, and not completely happy with any - lacking keyboard shortcuts, losing some of my tabs/groups, no synching across devices, multiple backgrounded tabs still running and killing performance and other issues. Was it added to the core browser?
- threatofrain 5y agoSince the app is launching on Apple's ecosystem, it also makes sense to compare to Safari where we're already getting tab groups and syncing. Plus, there's the usual stuff of password management, email aliases (nice for not giving out your email), and private relay, which is basically TOR lite for grandma. And what about ad blocking?
- smoldesu 5y agoNormally we don't compare real browsers to Safari for fear of completely embarrassing it. Are you suggesting we pull the gloves off? Monterey has given me all sorts of gripes that I'd love to get out, I was just hoping an HN thread wouldn't be the place.
- Grustaf 5y agoSafari is not a real browser? I've been using it exclusively for half almost a decade, working as a developer and in finance. What have I missed?
