How to Enable Tab Groups in Google Chrome and Use It

Google Chrome is one of the most reliable browsers when it comes to simplicity and providing new features. However, the browser can encounter minor issues as well. Opening multiple tabs on a Chrome can fade out the other tabs, hindering the convenience of the users. That is why in the new Google Chrome 80, users can put tabs in the group to make things easier. It’s a new feature which is available in the latest version of Google Chrome so if you are using the older version, then you cannot find this feature.

Tab Groups feature is not enabled by default, in fact, you need to enable it with a simple procedure. In order to enable the Tab Groups to feature manually, type chrome://flags on the web search bar. One thing you need to remember here is that new Tab Groups feature is currently in work by developers and it can stop working or might be buggy sometimes. However, until you are not facing any issues, you can use it and here’s how you can do it:
