This vid has come up at the RIGHT time! Thanks so so very much Simpletivity! You ROCK!!! 💌💌💌
You are so welcome! How do you plan to use these Saved Tab Groups?
Group tabs will NEVER replace bookmarks for many reasons. So, use groups tabs for most used sites you like, not youtube cause autoplay, but don't delete your bookmarks at all like this man said in this video.
Scott, your tips just blow me away! G-Productivity is exactly what I need! Thanks so much.
I'm so glad that you found this useful. All the best as you get the most out of this feature!
Great tip Scott. You ALWAYS bring great content!
I'm so glad you liked this tip. Thanks for watching!
This tip is genius. Been using it the last three days and it makes me happy every time
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Any other advice you would give others now that you are using it?
@@Simpletivityit's actually given me recognition of how many unnecessary tabs I was keeping open 'just in case'. I set up a an additional group called 'Occasional' which separates out from the everyday essentials groups and keeps both my browser and my mind clearer.
That sounds like a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
As a student this is so helpful! Thank you for the explanation, sir!
Thanks so much Scott for teaching me about Chrome Tab groups! Now I have different groups for different tasks, and open up different groups in different browser windows, which really helps me focus and avoid distractions while I'm working on the task at hand.
That sounds like a great method! Thanks so much for sharing.
*_Thank you so much for sharing, Scott. Will apply this immediately._*
You are so welcome. Let me know how it goes and if you have any additional tips!
Thanks a lot! I didn't know tab groups could be saved. Really very useful.
Yes, this is really changing the way I browse and make more effective use of my tabs.
@@Simpletivity Thanks again!
Dear Scott, I love you. -Ax
thanks a bunch for this one Scott! I'd seen the feature, saved a group, but when relaunched Chrome it was gone. I didn't realize it went to the Toolbar ... 🙄 ...
You're welcome, Bill. Yes, that one distinction with this feature makes all the difference!
Brilliant! Love it!
So glad to hear that!
Hey Scott, helpful video. Suggestion: Add a caveat that if you click on the tab "X" to close the tab, you're actually removing the tab from the group. If you do that for al of the group tabs, the group disappears forever. I learned this the hard way! 😖😖
That's a very good thing to point out. Thanks for sharing!
It distroys the whole purpose of grouping. Bookmarks never go away if I accidently close the tab.
Thank you for the tip; I'd seen that "save group" toggle, but I didn't know what it does (probably because I always hide my bookmark bar)
You are very welcome. This might be a good reason to reorganize your bookmarks bar to get the most out of this feature!
Yes, for sure
Great but when you reopen chrome the tab groups are always all open and you have no more space ! is that possible that they are closed when you reopen chrome ? Many thanks in advance !!!
uff so amazing this...!!!
thank you
You're welcome
Excellent! Thanks!
You're very welcome!
Love your videos - so well explained - quick and concise. I was very excited about this. I set up three tab groups - fantastic. HOWEVER, if you're in a tab and you start to surf, then Chrome saves the last place you surfed to in your tab group. Later, when I open up my "Productivity" tab for example, it has a random book website I went to via a surfing session instead of my Trello workflow. The worst part is that, after setting up my tab groups and feeling ridiculously excited, I deleted the sites in those new tab groups from my bookmarks bar. Now it's a mission to find them. Have I gone about this the wrong way? What have I missed? Please help!
It's true that these groups are dynamic and can change based on where you browse to if within a tab. Therefore, I recommend only using these tabs for specific sites and use other tabs for surfing. In addition, you may want to keep some of your bookmarks just for reference.
Thanks. Will definitely be saving my bookmarks again. The tabs tool is neat though. Thanks letting us all know these things. Really interesting as well as helpful.
You are very welcome!
Thank you sir 🌐
You are very welcome!
bookmarks + folder is still the best. just put all tabs in folders. It saves a lot of memory usages
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback.
👍Amazing. thank you. Many blessings in the name of Jesus Christ
You're very welcome!
Thanks for the video - my groups just vanish - flags set or not. Just plain idiotic- but there it is.
Thanks for this Scott. At your recommendation video about One-Tab, I used that but tabs are literally taking up to 5 minutes to open, I’m not talking about the full open, I’m saying that when I click ‘restore’ it takes 5 minutes to even have the tabs start popping up. Have you had this issue or do you just group them using this method now? Thanks brother
Thanks for your feedback, Scott. It does seem that since their last update in June, OneTab has been a lot slower. On top of that, they do not support this new Tab Group feature yet. You may want to check out TabXpert as an alternative.
@@Simpletivity Will check into it, you haven’t steered me wrong yet! 😀, also I am now paying for Get Magical after seeing your vid a few years ago,absolutely love that too, but it is slow to open also, switched to Text Expander. Thanks for reply
When clicking links from grouped tabs, newly opened tabs are automatically added to the group. Is there a way to stop it (i.e. newly opened tabs will be at a new window, or the same window but at a different group)?
Hi Scott. Thanks for this. I just starting using the tab groups because I've really enjoyed using them in Safari. How do you stop the autoplay feature when using these groups? When I open Chrome after restarting the computer. All of the tab groups start playing audio and continue to play even if I "collapse" them. Thanks.
There isn't a setting specifically to stop autoplay in Chrome tab groups. However, you can try the following workarounds:
Disable Autoplay:
Go to chrome://settings/content/sound.
Under "Sound," select "Don't allow sites to automatically play sound."
Use a Browser Extension:
There are extensions like "Turn Off the Lights" that can help manage autoplay behavior.
Additional Tips:
Close Tabs: Closing tabs that are actively playing audio will stop the sound.
Mute Tabs: Right-click on a tab and select "Mute site" to temporarily silence it.
@@Simpletivity Thanks. I did the steps to turn off allow sites to play sound but did not "use a browser extension" because I didn't understand that. It permanently muted my music videos in a saved tab group. If I close the tabs in a tab group, what is the point of having the group? This has not been an issue in Safari.
Thank you! I have saved many groups, however I would like to sort them alphabetically like I did the standalone bookmarks. Is that possible?
You can always drag and drop them into any order you like. I hope that helps!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much for all your tips, I love your channel! Greetings from the Dom. Rep.
You are so welcome! Thanks for taking the time to share your comments.
Don't make the mistake and put youtube in a tab group with a current video open and running.
It will stay in this tab group for ever and ever. And the video will start playing instantly as soon as you open the tab group. If you are multi device user with Chrome sync on it will definitely play automatically on every single device you have, where Chrome is installed. Gosh, I liked the idea to put RUclips in a social tab group, but I had to remove it and leave it as a single tab.
Edit: And if you are used to links that you are going to open within a tab group - this may be a catastrophy as well. Opening a link from a tab group may cause opening the link on all your devices. And even if you quickly close the new tab, it may reappear.
Hi Scott, thx for you video. Is it possible to open Google and the see the Tab groups at a glance. So you don't have to open up a new tab to see them?
Other than having them listed in your Bookmarks Bar, I'm not aware of another way to view the inside of a Tab Group without expanding it.
It only allows a few saved group tabs before it hides them behind a dropdown
Yes, I think about 4 or 5 is the limit before it will group the additional ones together.
@@Simpletivity I hope they allow us to move the divider ourselves
Yes, that would be a helpful option.
From where did you even install it? Cant find any of em???
same question. I was not able to find it.
My saved group got lost after opening it once.
todays sponsor of the video should’ve been Arc browser 😂
How long have you been using Arc? What do you like the most about it?
Sorry, I cant find G-Productivity. Not in Chrome or in Google.
same
Out of sight, out of mind. This is a horrible feature for ADHD. Do you want me to open my email 5 different times because I forget it's already open in a group? Cause that's exactly what is going to happen. :D VIVA LA TABS AND BOOKMARKS FOR LIFE! Also do not delete your bookmarks. Then you can't export them in the future when you realize you want to change browsers or share them with someone (like new hires who need to spin up quick with all the sites we use daily for work).
