Feature Request: Native Multi-Container Tabs (Session Isolation) for Edge Workspaces and Tab Groups
Microsoft Edge developer team, As a developer who regularly tests complex web applications locally and on staging environments, I rely heavily on Microsoft Edge's Tab Groups and Workspaces to keep my projects organized. However, testing multi-role workflows—such as simultaneously testing Admin, Manager, and Standard User accounts on localhost—is currently very frustrating. When logging into a secondary account in another tab within the same Edge window, the newly created authentication token overwrites the existing cookies, localStorage, and session context across all open tabs for that domain. This causes the first tab to automatically switch sessions upon refresh or navigation, breaking side-by-side workflow testing. Mozilla Firefox solves this problem cleanly with Multi-Account and Temporary Containers, allowing tabs inside the same window to maintain fully isolated storage contexts. Bringing native container tabs or tab-level session isolation to Microsoft Edge, especially tightly integrated with Tab Groups, would eliminate the need to run multiple heavy browser profiles or separate windows. It would make Edge the absolute premier browser for developers, QA engineers, and power users who manage multiple user roles daily. Please consider adding tab-level container isolation to the Edge product roadmap.
Lateral tabs related shortcuts
I love the lateral tabs feature and the tab groups as well, I use it a lot at my work place. However, there are at least a couple of keyboard shortcuts that should be added in order to improve the user productivity: a shortcut to open a new tab in the group the current tab belong to: when I'm working with the tabs from a given group, is like I'm working with that group, and if I open a new tab, it's very likely I want to open it in that very group. a shortcut to pin/unpin lateral tabs It goes without saying that for users who need to maximize their productivity it makes a big difference to be able to carry out the most frequent tasks by means of keyboard shortcuts.Great new features: Tabs Groups Auto create - Tab Groups collapse - Tab Groups Freeze
Microsoft Edge Version 89.0.722.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) has added 2 new features to Tab Groups and improved the previous ones. you need to enable them using flags (edge://flags/) Watch this demo video I just recorded to see how they perform: https://streamable.com/oxtieq * you can drag a group of tabs and drop them on another window. ** Tab groups on vertical tabs has minor visual issues. see below
[Suggestion] Tab Groups act like Containers
Love tab groups for staying organised when I use Edge, but I feel they would be more useful if they acted like containers in Firefox. Let them have their own cookies and add a context option to open link in a tab group or set a domain to always open in a tab group. Of course, this would require the browser to remember tab groups when closed. See; https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/containerise/ (addon which allows you to set domain patterns to always open in specific containers) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-containers/ (addon which creates a temporary container that deletes when the last tab with that container is closed - it will delete history and cookies)SS32: tab groups limitations
Suggestion (SS): 32 Classification: tab groups PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 5 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) Tab groups limitations: 1) no way to select the tab, right click and select “select all other tabs and move to a new group” (except pinned tab) 2) same like 1 to add to current group or 3) same like 2, where we simply select all tabs and then drag drop to group (solution 2 is better) 4) once we merge to a group, you show the whole group, instead you should keep the group close (so add an option to keep group close after merge) 5) no way to merge 2 group in 1 (even using drag drop) 6) open close group tabs create problem to other tabs (see image). It takes some time before you show original size 7) no way to add groups to pins --> if we click close other you delete the group --> if we click pin it, you lose group setting and manage tabs as normal tabs... after unpin we see single tabs... plus what i already reported to you before: all left tabs to group all right tabs to group all same domain to group (or even "add automatically tab from url ... to group ....")
