Here are a few of my use-cases/favorite features for tab groups.
- I essentially treat my tab groups (in Safari/Chrome shudder) as bookmark suites. It's very nice to already have the webpages in a deterministic order, I can just navigate to my Jira tab group, and my team's scrum board is always in the first tab. Tab groups help keep me organized, and helps with muscle memory when using the browser.
- I really like being able to search through tab groups purely through keyboard shortcuts. This is something I believe Chrome supports, however Safari doesn't inherently (though, I believe you can search from the "tab group mission control" kind of page).
- One thing Safari has however, that Chrome doesn't, is if I try to open a webpage again, it will actually redirect me to the tab group. This might honestly be a bug rather than a feature, but I find it kind of nifty, and avoids me from opening the same tab redundantly and sucking up a ton of memory (very easy to do when rabbit-holing on something).
