How to Organize Tabs with Chrome Tab Groups

Tap a step to see it in order.

  1. Right-click the tab you want to group

    Right-click on the tab you'd like to add to a group.

  2. Click "Add tab to new group"

    Select Add tab to new group from the menu.

  3. Name the group and pick a color

    In the popup, type a name for the group and choose a color that suits it.

  4. Drag other tabs into the group

    Drag any other tab next to the group and it joins the same group.

  5. Why it's worth doing

    Grouping tabs by topic β€” work, shopping, trip planning β€” with distinct colors makes it far easier to find the tab you want, no matter how many you have open.

Too Many Tabs to Find What You Need?

Grouping related tabs by topic and giving each group its own color makes it far easier to spot the tab you're after, even with dozens open at once.

Collapse Groups You're Not Using

Click a group's label to collapse every tab inside it down to a single label, then click again to expand it β€” handy for parking a group of tabs out of the way without closing them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I collapse a group to hide it?

Yes β€” clicking a group's label collapses all the tabs inside it into a single tab-sized label, and clicking it again expands them back out.

Do tab groups survive closing and reopening the browser?

Yes, tab groups stay intact even after you close and relaunch Chrome.
