Google Chrome appears to be taking a cue from Microsoft Edge, as reports suggest a new tab organization feature is in the works. While tab organization has been available in Edge for some time, it’s now emerging in Google Chrome Canary, the testing ground for upcoming features slated for future browser updates.
This development reflects the Chrome team’s ongoing efforts to enhance the user experience, and we can anticipate its official inclusion in a forthcoming Chrome update, although Google has not yet disclosed release details for this feature. Similar to Edge, Chrome’s tab organization function is likely to employ AI to determine tab placement.
Improved tab organization in Chrome will prove invaluable for power users who often find themselves inundated with open tabs. For individuals like me, dealing with an array of tabs, the ability to tidy them up and manage them efficiently is a welcome change. Moreover, Google is likely to refine and enhance this feature further as development progresses.
While Chrome users can already use Tab Groups, they need to set them up manually. The new tab organization feature is expected to streamline this process, allowing users to press a button and automatically organize tabs, potentially saving a considerable amount of time. This development holds the promise of transforming workspace decluttering, especially if AI does most of the heavy lifting and users only need to initiate the process.
However, there may be concerns about how effectively the tab organization feature will perform in Chrome, given the occasional imperfections demonstrated by AI, such as ChatGPT. Nevertheless, Google might pleasantly surprise us with its implementation.
