Firefox had tab grouping first. Before Chrome. And then it broke support for it when they did the add-ons overhaul. I’m surprised bringing it back wasn’t a high priority…

Achutucally Opera had it first, back before it ditched Presto.

IIRC the old tab groups feature was eventually removed because telemetry showed that only very few people used it…

That’s because us power users know to turn the telemetry off and also have it blocked on our network.

Right, but then you shouldn’t be shocked to find out that a feature was removed because nobody seemed to be using it.

Watching people use Chrome, fucking nobody uses it there either, except for work situations where on FF, you’re supposed to be using Multi-Account containers anyways.

It didn’t help that they hid the button in the customize menu and made the feature not discoverable.
