    I can understand them, I use Firefox on my PC, but Chrome on my phone, as I can’t live without tab groups there, for me it’s almost unusable without it, as I always have 100+ tabs open on my mobile browser

    When they’ll add it, I’ll use Firefox on both

        Using bookmarks as a substitute for tab groups is a very different user experience, though.

          But you can make folders in bookmarks…is this not the same thing?

            I don’t think so. As far as context switching goes, tab groups are faster and, having used both Chrome’s tab groups and Firefox’s bookmarks, I’d argue they’re easier to manage too.

            The way I see it, each feature has different intended uses. Ideally, I wouldn’t use tab groups as a bookmarks substitute either… but sometimes it happens due to their advantages.

              Is Google’s similar to grouping android apps into clusters?

                I’m not sure what exactly you’re talking about.

                This article—which I haven’t read—has a screenshot of mobile Google Chrome tab grouping. Hopefully this’ll help.

            @FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org Not really, I use bookmarks too, but I need tab groups for organizing active tabs, not closed ones

          You can probably force it to be by using a custom extension list, but the result might not be functional or pretty to look at.
