New Google Chrome for Android makes Tab Groups UI more suitable

In early January, Google released the Chrome Groups tab for Android. Those who dislike the feature can disable it with the Chrome flag. However, in Chrome 91, Google removed that flag, creating noise in the Chrome community.

After countless requests and feedback from Chrome users, Google is finally making a big change in the way Tab Groups works. Google is trying two new versions of the Tab Group feature in Chrome Beta for Android.

The first change is that links set to automatically open in a new tab will no longer create a group. Instead, a link will open in a new separate tab.

The second change adds a new “Open to new tab” option in the context menu that appears when you long-press on a link, allowing users to open a link on a new tab. In the latest version of Chrome, new links can only be opened in a group.

If you want to try a new test, download the latest version of Chrome Beta for Android from the Google Play Store. Note that if this is your first time downloading Chrome Beta, you will need to keep Chrome Beta open for five minutes and restart the app to enable this feature. Google has not shared any timeline that they plan to release these changes to everyone in a stable version.

• Launch Chrome Beta.
• Keep Chrome Beta open for about 5 minutes.
