Now it is possible to use groups of tabs in Safari on Mac , which allows us to organize all the favorite tabs of the browser. Something extremely useful because it helps us reduce the mess that can cause having several tabs of our favorite sites. In order to do this, it is necessary to have Safari 15 or higher..
We have already taught you how to customize the Safari home page on mobile devices, use extensions, view saved passwords and saved credit card numbers, among many other interesting guides. Now it is the turn of this useful as expected function.
Use tab groups in Safari on Mac
We are going to start by opening Safari on Mac and our favorite websites in different tabs. Now, we are going to have to click on the "Show sidebar" icon; which we can find in the upper left corner of Safari to view the sidebar..
Once here, we will see several tabs open at the top. We will have to click with the right button of the mouse where it shows the number of open tabs (in the upper part). We will choose "New group of tabs with # tabs" in order to add all those tabs in a single group.
In this way, all the tabs will appear in a new group of tabs "Untitled" in the sidebar. So we proceed to right-click on "Untitled" and select "Rename." This is where we will be able to choose the new name that the group in question will have and press "Back" to save it..
Next, we are going to click on the "Hide sidebar" button in the upper left corner of Safari to be able to close the bar in question.
The browser will show us the group label that we created at the top, right next to the "Show sidebar" button.
If we want to move any tab to a group that already exists, we simply right click on the specific tab and select the option "Move to group of tabs" in the contextual menu. Now we are simply going to have to choose the existing group or create a new one.
How to switch between groups of tabs? Simply, we will have to click on the tab label in the upper left corner of the browser.
In order to add a new tab to any group, just by making the combination of letters "Command + T" we can open a new tab or click on the "+" button in the upper right corner. It is also possible to rearrange the order of the tab groups by dragging them above or below the groups that already exist.
If we want to delete a group of tabs, we will have to press the tab Overview button in the upper right corner (it has an icon in the form of four squares) and we will instantly see the tabs in a group. After this, we are going to click on the "X" found in the upper left part of the preview thumbnail of the tab to be able to remove it from the group.
