Alot of people here hate on anything non-apple, Safari probably has the same thing, but in more concealed writing.Well yes, it's still there because the browser would be pretty useless otherwise.

That's basically what you're doing, but sometimes instead of closing a window entirely (which you may still do), you just switch the window to a separate set of tabs related to different task or project.Can someone explain to me why tab groups make sense?
I'm not trying to be contentious here, I just don't get it. Why not just leave the tabs/windows open while you're engaged in the project, then close them? All the browsers (mostly reliably) remember your open windows and tabs across app open/close cycles.
I sometimes end up with a tab open that doesn't belong to the group I'm in, or I've opened out of an email in a generic non-grouped window. So, I right click that tab and "send" it off to the right Tab Group. It disappears from view, but later when I open that Group, the tab is right there waiting.I tried using them and to me it seemed incredibly clunky, because the relevant set of tabs keeps changing so fast as I keep opening and closing new tabs based on what I'm reading.
I use folders of bookmarks for projects.Can someone explain to me why tab groups make sense?

Controversial take: MacOS itself doesn’t truly look at home on macOS anymore.I wanted to check it out until I saw all those dreadful non-standard interface elements. It’s a real shame that so far not a single non-WebKit browser truly looks at home on macOS.
That screenshot isn’t accurate anymore. They quickly corrected it to:Just a reminder:

One of the worst browser out there after this update. Avoid it.
Bookmark folders are static, and you have to manually add/remove/reorder pages to update it. Tab groups automatically update as you close or open tabs. For stuff I don’t expect to change, I use bookmark folders. For stuff that changes regularly, I use tab groups.How is this different from bookmark folders?
Mozilla can’t even be bothered to place the close tab button on the left where it belongs on macOS.Controversial take: MacOS itself doesn’t truly look at home on macOS anymore.
This is not correct. No other browser has such aggressive consents, even Chrome. Check it for yourself.
For casual users, it might not be useful. I use tab groups at work and they are a major improvement. I manage multiple projects and much of my work happens on various web pages/services. During a given day, I am frequently switching between projects. Each project has its own set of web pages and I use most of those every day with some pages temporary. With tab groups I can have all of the tabs for each project available and only those tabs, then I can switch to another tab group for a different project. Using tab groups means having a management number of tabs for each project. It's not efficient to keep opening and closing all of those tabs. Using different windows would just be a cluttered mess and browsers don't always bring back the windows when you restart. Overall, I tend to have at least 200 tabs open segmented between 4-5 project and some other utility groups. Without tab groups, I would be lost among the tabs.Can someone explain to me why tab groups make sense?

You didn't highlight the rest of it "to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox." They are not claiming ownership of your content, just that when you type or upload something they can use it as you are requesting. It's a kind of stupid legalese that is intended to protect them from a litigious public but makes it sound like they are mustache twirling villains.Just a reminder:

It's not trying to be groundbreaking. FF had an earlier version of this but they took it out years ago. Users have been asking them to bring back the feature and now they have done it in a more streamlined way.Tab Groups are just fancy Bookmarks. Nothing ground breaking here.
What you're talking about is going into the Bookmarks menu, then going to a folder, then picking "Open in New Tabs". OK cool. But what if you want to quickly switch to another set of tabs? You 1) open a new Safari window, 2) go through the Bookmarks > [folder name] > Open in New tabs.Yes, I'm aware of the difference between bookmarks and tabs. I'm asking what tab groups add that isn't already covered by bookmark folders.
(Btw, bookmarks can be found and opened using the browser search box if you enable that in config -- in fact, I do a big chunk of my browsing that way. They can also be searched in the bookmark manager.)
Are you saying Tab Groups preserve tab history even if you close and re-open them? What else (if anything) do they do?
Yep, this is identical to my use case. It's so much faster than bookmarks. When I'm in meetings it really speeds things up when I seamlessly jump from project to project versus rooting around in a bookmarks menu or favorites bar.For casual users, it might not be useful.

Orion is still rough around the edges but is being rapidly developed. I've been using it for at least a year or so, pretty happy with it. By the makers of the Kagi search engine.I guess it's to time to start looking at browsers now. I will not give out my consent to anything these days
This is incorrect. No, with recent update (happend at the beginning of this year) Firefox jumped to the top of the worst consents.Chrome has the exact same consents, just worded differently.
Mozilla phrases it as you giving them permission to use the data. Google phrases it as 'we will use your data to XYZ'... 'we will share your data with XYZ'...
Again: this is not correct. No other browser had or have such aggressive consents. If you want to trust Firefox and continue using it, you are free to do so. But there is no point in sugarcoating and pretending that it is different than reality shows.You didn't highlight the rest of it "to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox."
