Google Adds Tab-Grouping Feature to Chrome for Android

Google only recently started rolling out Chrome 88 with ameliorate security and tab search features. At present, the browser is adding the much-awaited tab grouping and grid view for tabs feature on Android.

Now, with this update, Chrome for Android is getting a new grid-like view for its tab-folio. This ways that instead of displaying the opened tabs as a scrollable listing, the Android version of Chrome will now display them as modest cards arranged in a grid. This is much similar the iOS version of Chrome in which this filigree-view for tabs has been bachelor for quite some time now.

And so, this new filigree-view for tabs on Chrome for Android now allows users to grade tab groups by stacking multiple tab-pages into a single menu on the tab-view page. This way, users can create tab-groups of like tabs or proceed miscellaneous tabs in a single group while browsing the web on their Android devices.

Creating tab-groups is as easy every bit dragging and dropping tabs on meridian of each other or selecting "Group Tabs" from the overflow menu. In that location is besides a new "Open up in new tab in grouping" option for links and webpages on Chrome for Android. You lot can meet it in action right here:

When users open a tab-group, they will be able to run across the favicons of the webpages that are included in that tab-grouping at a bottom-bar, with the current one highlighted with a blueish circle. They can tap each of them to instantly switch between the tabs in the grouping and also close any of them by tapping the "x" push on the favicons.

At present, at that place are some users who do not adopt the grid-view and are more comfortable with the list-view of the tabs. And so, if you want to disable the filigree-view and tab-grouping, you can do so using this link: chrome://flags/#enable-tab-grid-layout. One time the link opens up, tap the drop-downward menu and select the "Disabled" option at the lesser to disable the grid-view of the tab-page.

The update that brings these features to Chrome for Android started rolling out with Chrome 88 for some users. However, now information technology seems the update is rolling for more users via a server-side switch.
