Chrom(e|ium) can do some of these things! You can use shift and control clicks just like in a file browser to select tabs, then drag the whole selection to another window, or off to the side to create a new one. Easily movable tabs + a tiling WM makes it surprisingly easy to keep dozens or hundreds of tabs open (very useful when you're trying to research multiple topics in depth at the same time).
It's my #1 most missed feature in Firefox, where you can move tabs individually between windows, but not in a group. Trying to split off a group of related tabs into its own window is so painful that I often just kill them all and manually navigate back to them in the new window. It's a shame that they wasted so much effort on the Tab Group feature just to abandon it, instead of adding a tiny bit of functionality to the existing tab interface.
- Siecje 12y agoWow you can! It would be nice if there were keyboard shortcuts for it.
- mmorris 12y agoAFAICT, the Chrome multiple tab drag to separate into a new window doesn't work on Mac OS X, only on Windows (and Linux?). This one really hurts me every time I need it on the Mac. What's even more frustrating is that multiple tab select works (at least, UI-wise it appears to), but then when you actually drag the tabs out only one comes along.
- ihuman 12y agoYou are also still able to close multiple tabs at once. Besides selecting, I think that's all you can do.
- glomph 12y agoWhoa. I might have to switch back to chrome. I had no idea.
- dredmorbius 12y agoI am not finding multiple-tab support via shift or control click on my browser (Chromium 33.0.1750.152 Debian jessie/sid).
