From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thousands of users wanted it, so Firefox delivered it. Tab Groups are now live to help you declutter and stay organized while browsing.

The lack of groups was the deal breaker for me, so after it rolled out to beta, I finally switched back to Firefox as my primary browser.

Last I tried, I don't think you could reorder or drag/drop groups and selecting multiple tabs doesn't result in "group tabs" in the context menu, but it is still decent enough.

Tab groups have always been there. They're called windows.

I'm sure that when they rolled out tabs in browsers, there were people saying "I just have multiple windows open and Alt-Tab between them. This 'tabs' thing is for people who don't know how to Alt-Tab."
