When we create groups of tabs in Google Chrome, they still occupy the same space as they did before grouping them. Furthermore, to be honest, it usually takes up more space since a tag is added to the group of tabs, not the color and the name of the group..
To prevent tab groups from taking up too much space at the top of the browser, Chrome has just added the ability to hide tabs belonging to a specific group. In this way when we hide the tabs of a group, in Chrome only the color and the name of the tab group will be seen (this makes it take up very little space in the browser).
This function will also allow opening and displaying all the tabs belonging to the group in an easy and fast way. In this way the tabs will be displayed or displayed in the browser interface so that they are accessible and thus be able to view their content..
The possibility of hiding or showing groups of tabs in the Google Chrome browser is only available as of version 83. Therefore, before carrying out this tutorial, we recommend that you update your Google Chrome browser. Once updated, everything will be ready to carry out the following tutorial.
