Integrate Tab Groups with Collections
Hey,
In old Internet Explorer and also in Chrome, the Tab Groups (TG) features is a way to stack tabs together in a color-coded with manner with an optional title.
Edge Collections is a semi-tab-groups behavior, that lacks most of the TG functionality.
Here's how I'd like to see this integration happening:
- When clicking or Ctrl+clicking a link on a page, add the opened tab to the same TG as the source, creating a new group if necessary
- When pressing Ctrl+T, the new tab should be in the current TG
- Allow saving a TG for later use (via Collections)
- Allow pinning or closing of a TG as a Collection, so it gets collapsed for later
- Enable "Open all tabs" in a Collection - and it should be opened as a TG
- Allow closing TG with a single click
- Collection and TG should be under the same definition and should be seamlessly managed together
- All actions should be able to be performed from the tab context menu
- Tab Groups should be available in Desktop and Mobile versions of Edge, like Chrome. This is a deal breaker to me, it's functionality I got used to, and when using Chrome on Mobile I can't share links via "send to device"

Shimmy Weitzhandler Thanks for the detailed feedback! We have some good news: you can now enable Tab Grouping within Microsoft Edge. Paste the flag edge://flags/#tab-groups into your browser, ensure that Tab Grouping is listed as "enabled," then restart Microsoft Edge.
For the Collections-specific feedback, you can submit that through the in-browser feedback (Shift+Alt+I), so that we can direct it to the right team.
