- You Right click a tab and choose `Add to new Tab Group`.
- You then name and set a colour for the group.
- You then drag tabs in and out of the group.
So far the tabs work much the same as ungrouped ones. There is a small coloured button to the left of the group with the name, and the tabs in the group are underlined with the same colour.
But then you click the button and the tabs all collapse.
The nice thing is when expanded they are just like every other tab, not hidden away in a folder, or some menu or modal. But then you can clean up with the press of a button.
Lack of Tab Groups is what stopped me from switching to Firefox last year.
That sounds like tree style tabs except with colors, that you have to manually set groups instead of it being grouped based on what opened what, and it's still horizontal so can't see more than a handful of tabs at the same time. On the other hand, it being native sounds like a big advantage (looking with one eye at xpi addons here, specifically the vertical tabs one Mozilla developed themselves and then immediately killed because it had been decided addons need to not be so powerful)
You can pre-select multiple tabs to add to the group when creating a new one. It will also automatically add newly opened tabs originating from a grouped tab in the same group. Not vertical like TST, but a very nice quality life improvement in the native browser.
Not sure, Croteam never did come across as a rich company and I don't recall their engine sold well. Stadia work would've been a wage, a decent wage I'm sure but at the end of the day just a wage.
