Tab groups

What are tab groups for?

With tab groups, you can easily organize your browser. You can create new groups, organize tabs into them, open cloud tab groups on different devices (if syncing is enabled), and move tabs between groups to make working with open tabs as convenient as possible.

When you open the new tab screen, a switch between groups is displayed at the top center. The switch shows the name of the group you are currently in:

• Samsung (if you have a Samsung) — when no tab groups have been created on the smartphone yet. Here you can see the tabs that are not placed in any group.

  Note

  Samsung (if you have a Samsung) — default tab names. If you want to change it, tap and hold the group until the context menu appears, then select Edit.

• Group name — when other tab groups have been created on the smartphone.
