But a single change makes them super-useful again.
And it improves Safari, big time.
Tab groups will let you better organize large numbers of open tabs.

Maybe a folder of favorite sites to display in the home page, but thats it.
Tab Groups are fundamentally different.
Imagine youre researching a new office chair.

You have a bunch of tabs open, fromWirecutter, various stores, and so on.
The answer is to group these tabs into a Tab Group.
The neat part is the Tab Group updates as you use it.
Close a tab and its gone.
Open one, or follow links, and it all updates.
And these changes sync between iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
What Are They Good For?
Ive been using Tab Groups to keep fewer tabs open in Safari.
you might name the group, and access it from a list in the sidebar.
You might also keep Tab Groups for upcoming trips, for doing your taxes, or anything else.
After using it on all my devices, I have to say I love the new Safari.
Tab Groups are delightful, saysMac software developer Shawn Platkuson Twitter.
And the new design scales nicely.
I have a MacBook and iPad mini and the Compact UI is great for those devices.
This small trick lets you quickly move between Tab Groups without opening up the whole sidebar.
Tab Groups are delightful.
Its surprisingly intuitive, and so far I havent managed to find an equivalent feature on the Mac.
Basically, Tab Groups are worth trying out.
If you dont like them, its just a better bookmark tool.
If you do, it could change your web-browsing life for the better.
