How to Use Tab Groups in Your Browser

Organize dozens of open tabs into color-coded groups you can collapse and reopen later — works in Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox.

In this guide (5 steps):

1.In Chrome or Edge, right-click a tab
2.Name the group and pick a color
3.Add more tabs to the group
4.Collapse the group
5.In Safari, use Tab Groups

In Chrome or Edge, right-click a tab

~15s

Right-click any tab at the top of the browser. Pick Add Tab to New Group from the menu that appears.

Name the group and pick a color

~15s

A small bubble appears next to the tab. Type a name (like Work or Shopping) and pick a color. The color makes it easy to tell groups apart.

Add more tabs to the group

~15s

Right-click another tab, pick Add Tab to Group, and choose the group you just made. Or drag a tab into the colored bubble at the top of the screen.

Collapse the group

~15s

Click the colored group name at the top. All the tabs in that group hide away, leaving only the group name. Click again to bring them back.

In Safari, use Tab Groups

~15s

On Mac or iPhone Safari, click File, then New Tab Group (Mac) or tap the tabs icon and then the down arrow (iPhone). Tab Groups in Safari work more like saved sessions than colored labels, but the idea is similar.

Tab groups let you bundle related browser tabs together — like all your work tabs, all your shopping tabs, or all your research tabs — and color-code them. You can collapse a group to hide those tabs, then expand it when you need them again.

Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox all support tab groups. The steps are slightly different in each, but the idea is the same: right-click a tab and pick Add to Group.
