Whether you’re someone who keeps about 864,896 browser tabs open at the same time or is overwhelmed by more than a dozen bakers, Google has added a handy feature to the set of Google Chrome tools to help you keep track of all your tabs. A feature introduced last year called tab groups allows you to group open websites with one click and label them with a custom name and color. After creating a group, you can move and rearrange the tabs inside.

This feature has been around for years in other browsers such as Vivaldi and Opera, and through browser extensions such as OneTab.

Tab groups are especially useful when you are working on a number of different projects at once, tracking the progress of tasks, or browsing different shopping and review sites.

Use Chrome’s tab groups to organize all your open websites in the browser.

Customize your tab group to your liking, use words or emoji for the group name. Perhaps the best part is that groups are saved when you close and reopen Chrome, so you don’t have to search through your browser history to find just the website you’re looking for.

Tab groups are now available in Chrome. The feature is available for the Chrome browser on desktops running Chrome OS, Windows, Mac and Linux.

To create group tabs in Chrome, follow these steps:

1If you have a tab open, right click on it and click Add a tab to a new group

2Select the name and color of your tab group.

3When you open new tabs, right-click on them and click Add to groupand select the group you want to add them to. The tabs in that group are underlined with your chosen color.

4Then move them as desired within each group.

Chrome is it most popular browser in the world, and the tabs feature has tested for months, Google said in a recent blog post.
