How to Use Tab Groups in Google Chrome.
You may need to access multiple websites for work, study, or research. Before you know it, you have so many open tabs that you can’t find the right one when you need it.
In Google Chrome, you can create tab groups to solve this problem. This allows you to assemble a set of related tabs and apply the group name. Then expand or collapse this group as needed. Let’s go through Chrome’s tab groups so you can control your tabs.

Create a New Tab Group in Chrome
Select one of the Chrome browser tabs you want to group. Then right-click the tab and select “Add tab to new group”.
Optionally, give the group a name and choose a color. While you don’t have to use a name, it’s useful if you plan to add more tabs to a group or create multiple groups.
Once you’ve created a group, select it to expand it and see the tabs inside it, or collapse it to hide them. You will notice that the tabs in a group are circled in the color of that group.
In the same way, you can create additional groups for other tabs.
Add More Tabs to a Group
You can add other open tabs to an existing group or create a new tab within a group.
Add an existing tab to a group
Right-click the tab you want to enable, select “Add Tab to Group”, and select the group name from the pop-up menu. If you haven’t given your group a name, you’ll see the website you added to it as the name.
Add new tab to group
If you want to add a site to a group but don’t yet have an open tab for it, you can create one. Right-click a tab group and select New Tab in Group.
When a new tab opens, go to the site. It is then automatically saved as part of that group.
Move Tabs Within Groups
You may want to reorder tabs by moving a specific tab to a different group.
Right-click the tab and select “Add tab to group”. Then choose a group name from the pop-up menu, or choose New Group to create another group.
Remove a Tab From a Group
If you no longer need a tab as part of a group, you can quickly remove it. To remove it from the group and keep it open, right-click the tab and select “Remove from Group”.
To remove a tab from a group and close it, simply close the tab as usual with the X on the right side of the tab.
Reopen a Tab Group
When you create a tab group in Chrome, that group is not saved forever. This means that when you close Chrome, these groups disappear. However, there is a way to re-open a tab group.
Select the “Search in tabs” arrow in the top right corner of the Chrome window, where you can search for open tabs. Expand the Recently Closed section if necessary.
You will then see all the groups you just closed. Select one to reopen the group and all the tabs in it.
Keep in mind that this only works for groups of tabs that you have recently closed. The list of recently closed tabs fills up quickly as you open and close more tabs.
More Tab Group Actions
There are a few other things you can do with Chrome Tab Groups. You can add or change the name and choose a different color.
Alternatively, you can right-click a group and select one of the following from the drop-down list:
New Tab in Group. Create a new tab in an existing group as described above. Ungroup: Removes all tabs from the group, but leaves them open. Close Group: Closes all tabs in the group and deletes the group. Move group to new window: Moves the entire group of tabs to a separate window and keeps them grouped.
What was once achieved with chrome://flags or Chrome extensions is now a built-in tab groups feature, giving you a great way to organize multiple tabs.
