Chrome’s Tab Groups feature is a great way to stay organized if, like me, you tend to let your tabs multiply faster than rabbits on the Spanish fly diet. While tab groups can be renamed, collapsed, expanded, and even color-marked for easy visibility, none of these changes stay with you in a new browser session. So far, that is: a new flag option in the latest version of Chrome Canary allows users to save groups of tabs.

Well, sort of. The feature is live in the Flags menu in Chrome Canary, spotted by Techdows. But it doesn’t seem fully operational yet, just like the nature of the pre-release software. Although you can assign a group to save via the context menu and bring recently closed tabs back to that group from your recent history, groups are not “sticky” and do not stay in place after the browser is closed and reopened. . There’s also no quick way to reload all the tabs in a group.

Still, it’s there, and that implies that Google is at least working on some of these features. To see it, open Canary (currently on version 95) and head to chrome: // flags / # tab-groups-save. Set it to “on” and restart the browser. Hopefully we’ll see more substantial additions to this feature in the near future.
