Microsoft Edge Tab Settings – Create Tab Group
Here are some useful tweaks of tabs in Microsoft Edge.
Organize Multiple Tabs into Tab Groups in Edge Browser
Sometimes, while browsing sites, we open so many webpages in tabs that it becomes really hard to differentiate between various tabs. Tabs become indistinguishable from each other.
To solve the problem and for easy stepping between browser tabs, chromium browsers offer to organize multiple tabs in groups.
Start by right clicking any tab and then select ‘Add tab to new group’ option from the menu. Write any name of the group and press Enter. Now the tab group is created. Please note that there is no standalone option to create tab group and when you remove tabs from a group, that group is automatically removed.
To add more tabs to the group, right-click on any tab and select ‘Add tab to group’ option and names of your created tab groups will appear there, along with option to add even one more tab group.
To add a tab to a tab group, you can simply drag and drop a tab on the group. Similarly, you can also drag a tab away to remove it from the tab group.
You can also right-click on the group name to ungroup the tabs or close the group.
Tab grouping is a great feature, especially for those who open a lot of links in multiple tabs in browser window.
Update: In June 2022, Edge browser updated with new tab grouping features. Now you can customize tab group with names and colors.
