 During my time with Brave and on Google Chromium one of the features that I truly came to enjoy was tab groups now if you listen to the podcast you'll have heard me talk about this before but Basically what tab groups are are the ability to take a group of tabs and group them together in a category So for example, you could have one for video ideas if you're a youtuber and that's what I've done now before I Started using those browsers. I wasn't much of a tab hoarder I usually had five or six tabs open and that was it when I was done with something I'd close it or I'd bookmark it and I still use bookmarks a lot But since I started using those browsers, I found myself opening up tabs and then just leaving them open It's kind of weird because normally I'm much more organized than that But with the use of tab groups I don't really know that those tabs are even open because they're hidden away inside the group and that allows me to go through and like for example have a category for video ideas like I said and it has You know a dozen tabs in it, but I don't see them now. They are Open so they are taking up resources. So this is definitely a downside of doing it this way But I found myself really enjoying being able to go through and categorize all my tabs Even during the times where I don't have a lot of tabs open I like having those categories and having them able to separate the things that I'm doing or Whatever it kind of allows me to Push the stuff that I shouldn't be doing so for example like YouTube or whatever into certain groups And I can close that group and then focus on my work So it kind of also allows me to focus my time just a little bit better It doesn't always work obviously because it's still easy to go to the group and then go to YouTube or just open up a new YouTube tab But at least the idea is there so the problem is is that when I moved away from Brave a few days ago And moved back to Firefox I found that Firefox doesn't actually have tab groups by default and this kind of broke my heart a little bit because I Always thought the Firefox was fully featured, but they didn't have my favorite feature and then I was sad and I went through a whole period of depression before I realized the extensions exist and Then I went about the whole process of trying to find the best tab extension that I could possibly find Sadly there's only one like there are several Extensions that do this, but the rest of them are jank af as they say. It's just none of them are very good. They're Kind of more visual tools and they're always in your face and they're not easy to get to but luckily There is one that is really good and that extension is called simple tab groups now Let me show you what this looks like. This is the GitHub repository for the extension and it's also in the Mozilla add extensions Store, whatever hell they call it really what this does is it allows you to go through and create groups Just like you would in a chromium-based browser The only difference is is that it hides those groups away So at first I didn't really care for this all that much because I was so used to the groups Being up here at the top, but I've come to realize that the way this does Grouping is better. So all this does is it creates groups Just like you would in a chromium-based browser and then puts them in a menu over here So I have several groups that I have and I can just go ahead and open up a group like that And it looks like I'm opening up a new window, but I'm not actually opening up a new window It's basically just taking me to that group and the other tabs are just still there They're just in the background. They're hidden so I can go through and go to another so this is my ideas group I can go to the Leno group just like this and It just looks like I'm opening up a new window, but really if I float this window You can see there's no other windows behind it. It's just this window So there are other than being able to just bring tab groups to Firefox. This actually does several other cool things It allows you to assign Keybindings to certain actions like switching back and forth between different groups you can go through and Alter several different Settings for this thing so that you can kind of customize what it looks like how it functions You can allow it to show the thumbnails for certain things as the icon for the group If that's what you want to do you can go through and save groups as Into your bookmarks if you want to go through and do that as I said You can go through and assign several hot a couple hotkeys in order to switch between Different groups you can add other hotkeys. There are several actions here that you can do This allows you a lot more functionality than what you get with the tab groups in Google Chrome or Chromium or Brave or whatever Because there's just a ton of actual choice here you can also go through and back up your groups to a file if that's what you want to do and That's awesome. That means you can take your groups from here to another computer if you wanted to or whatever You can also have it go through an auto save a backup of your tab groups every day if you want to or every month or whatever That's also cool Now the only feature that I really wish it had was the ability to sync the groups over Firefox sync that'd be awesome if I could go through and because I signed into Firefox and all my browser all my Devices if I could go through and as long as the extension was installed on those devices Sync the groups between the computers like that that would be absolutely amazing. That's about the only feature I can think of that I would want That is not available, but other than that there's not much here that you that I can show you the idea is is that you right click on a Tab and you can go through and move tab to group or create a new group or create a temporary container and You can even go through and say you have a list of links So for example, we have my channel here. We could go through and say Right click on this and then click open link in group and it would open link in one of your existing groups or even a new group That's pretty cool And it so means you don't even have to open up the tab in this particular group Like if I wanted to just say I wanted to go through and add open up this one here open link in group and then we'll do that in the ideas group and As you can see it doesn't even show up here we'd actually have to go to the ideas group and We'd see that that video open up in that group the idea here is that you can go through and organize all your tabs into different groups and Always keep them organized. You don't have to be in a certain group to add something to it Now one of the things that is also really cool is that if you have Pin tabs those pin tabs show up on every single group. So for example, I have tweet deck up here and Every single group I have tweet deck and all my Google Doc stuff show up right here in every single group That means I don't have to go through and find out what group those three pen tabs happen to be in so that's really cool so that is simple tab groups if you are like me and have switched from Chrome or Chromium or whatever and Have moved into Firefox and you're missing tab groups. This is an amazing way to get them back In fact, I like this way better than the Default tab groups that you get in in Brave and whatnot simply because you have way more options to customize stuff and it's open source So win-win, so that is it for this video just a short one if you have comments You can leave those in the comment section below make sure you hit the subscribe button and like button if you haven't done So already I really do appreciate that you can follow me on Twitter at Linux cast You can support me on patreon at patreon.com slash Linux cast before I go I'd like to take a moment to thank my current patrons today Devon Patrick I'll promise Marcus Megalyn Jackson to will Steve a cyber guy Linux Garrett Mitchell Arts Center cover data Jeremy Sean Oden Martinie Merrick camp Dr. Lee J dog Peter a crucible dark band of six and Vlad A.
