Maybe it’s just me, but I find the default tab group behavior in Safari to be complete ass. It doesn’t have the natural Apple feel to it. It feels like an after thought that Apple developers threw in there to compete with Chrome.
Why do I have to open up a separate menu to get to my tab groups? Why can’t it be integrated into the same window like Chrome does? Every time I switch between tab groups, it has to reload every site.
I think they are just different designs with different use cases in mind. I use Safari tab groups and find them very helpful to quickly get back to specific work contexts, sort of like just separate browser windows that I can close and bring back as needed.
Having only used Chrome’s tab groups briefly I think I recall them being more of an ad-hoc organizational tool for existing tabs in the window. In that case, I think Chrome’s tab groups are closer to the name, whereas Safari tab groups are a separate concept that could have maybe used a different name.
Agreed. I use them alot just to keep thoughts seperate as I search for one thing or another. I really use them a ton!
