Chrome has the leading market share in Web Browser usage in the world and Google was adding new features regularly to keep it in the top position, recently one of those new features added is group tabbing which means labeling a certain amount of tabs so that you can get access for example, to all your work-related tabs in one click.

This organizing process will save you a lot of time and hassle of going through bookmarks or history or the ocean of tabs that you've opened to find the tab you need, Chrome says that this new feature will slowly start to roll to all users starting from next week.

There is no limitation on how you can group your tabs you can use any name or classification to address any group of your tabs and here's the fun part, you can even use emojis to identify your grouped tabs, Google has been testing this feature for several months through their dev and beta channels.

In the process of this testing, people at Chrome found that users used several different names to classify their tabs, for example, some people grouped their tabs as "ASAP" "this week" and "later" referring to the deadlines of their work.

The names also include “haven’t started,” “in progress,” “need to follow up” and “completed," referring to the progress of their work, Edward Jung, UX Engineer at Chrome recommends this, "My pro tip is that you can use an emoji as a group name such as ❤️ for inspiration or 📖 for articles to read."

This new feature will be available in platforms like Chrome on desktop across Chrome OS, Windows, Mac, and Linux and will be available starting from next week through the new version of Chrome you can test this feature by yourself right now by installing Chrome Beta.
