From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Personally I still use Brave because Firefox still doesn't have tab groups on mobile and it's more private than Chrome
Firefox did add tab groups to desktop, which is dumb because they already existed. They're called windows. And they've been stringing the community along regarding mobile tab groups for years.
Until Firefox get their heads out of their asses, they're a non-starter as far as I'm concerned
Tab groups are easier to handle than windows though
Also:
I am on nightly tho, maybe standard firefox doesn't have them yet
Every time Firefox groups my tabs on desktop I get pissed off and say I'm going to disable it... Then immediately forget because I was in the middle of something.
They can take the tab groups from me and give them to you, no charge.
