Chrome for Android may be getting the Desktop version’s “Tab Groups” feature

If you're a fan of the existing tab organization tools that Chrome has on desktop, you'll be happy to know that the mobile version could adopt a very useful one. According to a recent update to Chrome Canary experimental build 124, the ability to create tab groups, even if you only have one tab to start with, will be available on Android. While desktop, Chrome has allowed single tab groups for some time. now this feature will be new in the Android experience. Spotted by @Leopeva64 onthis feature appeared for the first time back in January in early versions of the mobile browser, however, at the time it was grayed out and therefore could not be used. In this latest version of Chrome Android Canary, however, the feature appears to be fully functional by enabling the experimental #android-tab-group-stable-ids flag.

As noted in article From there, you will be able to add more tabs, rename the group, rearrange the tabs inside and use all the typical features of tab groups.

It's important to note that given that at present this only works with Chrome Canary and also requires the use of a flag, we can definitely say that this is still in its early stages . Chrome Canary is primarily for developers to test new features, and adding experimental flags to this mix makes the browser even more unstable. This goes without saying, but we will say it anyway: it is not recommended for regular use.

However, Chrome Canary is a really good way to get a taste of what Google is working on for its browser, no matter how rudimentary the experience is. The fact that this setting has been available since the beginning of this year and continues to be worked on is a good sign that this will make it to the stable version in a few months.
