  • Google Rolling Out Chrome Tab Groups

    Google Rolling Out Chrome Tab Groups

    Google Chrome is about to help browser tab addicts keep things more organized with tab groups.

    As Google points out, when it comes to web browsing, there are two types of people: tab minimalists and tab collectors. Collectors, as the name implies, use tabs far more than minimalists, bouncing back and forth between possibly dozens of tabs. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to keep up with them, especially once a browser starts truncating the titles to make room for more.

    “Now, with a simple right click, you can group your tabs together and label them with a custom name and color,” writes Edward Jung in a blog post. “Once the tabs are grouped together, you can move and reorder them on the tab strip.

    “We’ve been testing out tab groups for several months now (as have some of you), and we’re finding new ways to stay organized.”

    According to Jung, some users are choosing to organize their tabs by topic, others by priority. However a person wants to organize them, the new feature should be a big help.

    The company plans to start rolling the feature out in the next version of Chrome, but users can try it now by downloading the beta.

  • Google Chrome Will Save Your Tabs

    Chrome and Firefox have been at war for quite some time with the two browsers both owning about 20 percent of the browser market share. Both browsers feature a sync option that allows users to save their history, bookmarks, add-ons, etc across multiple devices. Firefox has had a small victory for a while since it had the ability to save tabs, but Chrome has finally caught up.

    Announcing it on the Google Chrome blog, the Chrome team has announced that it’s now possible to save your tabs across multiple devices and computers. Of course, interested users have to be signed in to Chrome to take advantage of the service, but that’s easy enough. You can access this feature on the new tab page under “Other devices.”

    Google Chrome Will Save Your Tabs

    While this new feature will work on Chrome for Android Beta, it’s only available on Android 4.0 or higher devices. This severely limits the amount of Android users who can use the new tab saving feature and mobile users have the most to gain from it.

    For those that do have the option of mobile browsing, the coolest feature is that it saves your browsing history inside the tab. This means that you can navigate forward or back as soon as you bring up the saved tab. It’s the perfect mobile companion to desktop browsing.

    It’s still nice for those that share tabs between their work and home computers. I know that I find plenty of things at work that I would like to research more once I get home.

    Google will be rolling out the new option to Beta channel users over the coming week. There’s no word on when the option will be rolled out to stable channel users. I’m sure it won’t be too far behind.
