When I right click on a tab in Firefox, I can reopen it in a container. The containers (at first glance) seem to be limited to Personal, Work, Banking, Shopping, and Facebook (which is probably there because I have Facebook container installed). In settings I can modify the container tabs available. (And turn the feature on or off, but it's already on because of Facebook container.)
Is that what that is? It looks a lot like the example you linked. Firefox 123.0, but it's been there for quite a while.
Not really, though the functionalities are adjacent and I could see how one would make that mistake. I do indeed use container tabs, and they're a killer feature.
Tab groups are merely organizational, allowing you to reference, store, close, and save groups of tabs en masse; by contrast, container tabs don't do ANY organization at all; you can't group them all together, move them all to a new window as one, bookmark them all, close them all, etc.
Interesting, thanks. Seems like the containers could be expanded into the tab group functionality without too much trouble.
True, and I would love the ability to link them, but I think having them linked by default would be confusing to users who don't need containerization. "Wait, I already logged in to that!"
