It's nice to silo windows when you have lots open, but I think grouping all browser windows together is not a sensible way to do it. Some browser windows go with my IDE, some with spreadsheets, some terminals, etc. Grouping all browser windows (including web apps, email, etc.) because they happen to use the browser is like grouping all windows whose title starts with "A" or something.
- bdougherty 5y agoOnce you have your browser focused, you can use App Exposé (ctrl+down) to show all the windows from it.

- kemayo 5y agoThis is true, but my Windows experience suggests that the one-set approach to window-switching doesn't help me maintain that grouping. You do get quick switching between recently-used windows, but if I have more than a few (or multiple sets I need to switch between) then they rapidly get jumbled together for me. What I actually do on macOS, which I felt was too opinionated to mention in my initial comment, is use Spaces (macOS' virtual-desktops feature) to split things up by task. Normally pretty high-level -- a "work" space and a "relaxing" space always exist, but making task-specific ones to focus on is trivial. Then once you're inside a given space, all the tab shortcuts only switch between windows on that space.
