From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Don't worry they say they'll shove AI in it so it's definitely our world
So now when I open my mom's computer, she see 20 tab groups, I'll know it's even worse than it looks...
finally firefox re-added tab groups, after removing them once already in the past >_>

I'll never understand you people that need like 50 tabs open at once.
I have a few use cases:
- Many youtube videos that are like 30+ minutes long saved for later
- Documentation on some stuff that I need to go back and forth
- Movies or games that I found, but don't want to write down and forget
- Going down rabbit holes on wikipedia and saving it for another day
- Everything else that catches my attention and deserves a honorable spot in the tab bar
Basically, I use my browser as a notebook. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
So a shit ton of tabs that never get looked at again? I swear all of you secretly want your tabs to disappear so you have something to complain about.

Yeah those all seem like great uses of bookmarks and save functions.
RIGHT
So why’s it hard to explain why they’re not the same… 🤔

I will do my good deed of the month. You seem like a prime candidate for Tab Stash. Does the same but better than Tab Groups. Check it out. You might like it.

Let me know, love it or hate it. Cheers.
Hey, this looks like a better OneTab that I always wanted!
Is there some way this could work on android?

As a librewolf babe, I'm keeping an eye on this: https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues/2458
Tab grouping is so useful and something I've always had to resort to extensions for. Good for Firefox for this, can't wait for it to make its way to a browser that doesn't sell users data.
Hey, you can use tab grouping in Librewolf if you set browser.tabs.groups.enabled to true in about:config

By now you would've expected someone to have pointed out what code is actually collecting that data that's supposedly sold.

I'm glad they've added it to desktop, but based on my usage it's more important for me on mobile. Hopefully they bring it to Android soon.

Can someone at least help me understand what tabs have that bookmarks don’t?
If i have more then 4 tabs open i get anxious because i can’t intuitively remember what each does. I have folders for categories of bookmarks.
It's a combination of things... I'm a software developer, so I'll often end up with 20+ tabs open while resolving a problem.
- I don't want to bookmark them because I don't need them when I finish the task.
- I can't close the tabs until I'm sure everything's working because Google sucks these days and who knows how hard it'll be to find the source again.
- Relying on browser history is like finding a needle in a haystack. Tasks can take multiple days and 100 different entries in history.
- I might have "finished" a task that still needs tested and I know it's a bit shaky; I'll want to move onto a new task but keep the most useful references until I no longer need them.
- I only bookmark pages that I'll need long-term or multiple times. It's already hard enough to keep those organized...
My tab hoarding has only gotten this bad because search engines are terrible now and the amount of AI garbage to sort through makes finding anything useful a pain in the ass the first time; let alone trying to find it a second time.
I have the same workflow. Usually, I never have more than maybe three tabs open, but when I'm debugging something.... oh god. Easily 15 or 20.
I also bookmark extensively, and actually have my address bar set up to only give me suggestions from my bookmarks. Additionally, I use a tiling window manager, which makes managing windows and tabs very easy. I really don't have a use for tab groups, but, who knows, maybe I'll learn to use them someday.

Oh sweet Satan, yes. I wish somebody could explain to me why browser history is so awful.
