How to create tab groups in Android’s Chrome browser

One of Chrome’s best features for staying organized is coming to Android: the all-powerful Tab Groups,” which allows you to group your tabs into more useful chunks rather than randomly scattering them through your browser or, on your phone, on separate pages. However, you may need to enable a semi-hidden flag in your browser to access this useful feature today.

To get started, make sure you are using the latest version of Chromium on your Android device, which can be updated through the Google Play Store. Then, llaunch the browser and enter it in the address bar: chrome://flags

You will be taken to a screen that looks like this:

Do a quick search on “Tab Grid”, tap the drop-down menu for it. Tab grid layout and select the standard option “Enabled”. Relaunch Chrome and tap the box to the right of your address bar to open a few new tabs. You will immediately see that they are now organized in a grid layout, instead of displaying pages sitting on top of each other.

How do you group these tabs? It’s easy. Just long press on one and drag it over another. Rrepeat the process to add more tabs to your tab group:

You can also go to the group itself and use the “+” icon to add new tabs to it. as you see fit. To group multiple tabs at once without having to long-press each one individually, tap the three-dot icon in the upper right corner of this screen and select the new one. Group tabs option. You can then just tap on all the free tabs you want to organize in a group and then tap the Group button to make them become new friends.

Finally, if you long press any hyperlink in a normal Chrome window, you will see the option to open the new tab in a group:

Tap on it, and the original page you were visiting will now be grouped together with the new link you long-pressed, and you’ll see icons for both at the bottom of your Chrome browser. This is the easy way to navigate between tabs in your group, and you can also use the “+” icon to the right to quickly add more tabs.

Of course, if you don’t like the grid layout or the tab groups, you can always turn the feature off again. using the same Tab grid layout flag as before. Just set it to ‘off’ and your browser will revert to how it was before – for now.
