With each macOS update, Safari will undergo a significant change. For example, Safari can add wallpapers, Privacy Report, etc with the macOS Big Sur update. macOS Monterey now brings a refined design, new security features, Unified Tab Groups and Tab Bars. While the tabs look different, consider the Tab Groups feature to manage them in Safari.
Before we show how to use group tabs on Mac, see What are Tab Groups in Safari and why you need to use it.
What are tab groups on Safari on Mac
In theory, Tab Groups is similar to what Google did with Groups on the Google Chrome browser. But, the implementation is different.
Tab groups are most useful when you’re dealing with dozens of tabs in the browser. For example, you can create a group such as Social and add your opened social tabs to the group.
Similarly, you can create multiple groups on the Safari browser and move tabs from the common home page to created groups. It’s all about smarter tab management in the Safari browser on a Mac. It’s something that proficient users will appreciate once they get a taste of the Tab Groups in Safari.
Excited to try Safari Tag Groups? Let’s set it up.
Create tab groups in Safari Browser on Mac
Tab Grouping functionality is best served on the desktop. After all, you have to have dozens of tabs open on your Mac, not on your iPhone.
If you have multiple tabs open in the Safari browser, you can follow the steps below to deal with tab clutter on your Mac.
Note: Tab groups are part of the Safari update in macOS Monterey 12.0. If you’re still using macOS Big Sur, you’ll need to update the software from the System Preferences menu. Apple is getting ready to release a new update later this year. Until then, you can try out the shiny new operating system on your Mac at your own risk.
Step 1: Open the Safari browser on your Mac and start browsing. Try to open the relevant tabs on the browser.
Step 2: Select a Tab that you want to switch to the group.
Step 3: Right-click a tab and select Move to Tab Group from the context menu.
Step 4: Select New Tab Group.
Step 5: Safari will open a sidebar and you can name the relevant group.
Step 6: You will see the tab switch from the standard interface to the newly created tab group.
You can follow the process for all opened tabs and arrange them neatly in tab groups.
It can be a time consuming process though.
Create tab groups from currently open tabs
Apple also has a better way to create tab groups from existing tabs. This is the way.
Step 1: Launch the Safari browser on Mac and open the relevant tabs that you want to group from.
Step 2: Click the small down arrow next to the Sidebar menu at the top.
Step 3: Select New Tab Group with x Tabs.
Step 4: Name the New Tab Group and Safari will add all opened tabs in that group.
No manual entry required. You don’t need to move each tab into a group in Safari on Mac.
How to delete tab groups in Safari
If you no longer need to use a particular tab group in the Safari browser, you can easily remove it from the app. This is the way.
Step 1: Launch Safari browser on Mac.
Step 2: Click on the Sidebar at the top.
Step 3: In the Tab Groups menu, right-click the Tab Group you want to remove, or use two-finger click with your MacBook’s trackpad.
Step 4: Select Delete and Safari will remove Tab Group from the browser.
From the same menu, you can also rename the Tab Group.
What about Safari on iPhone
Safari on iPhone is also getting the new Tab Groups add-on with the iOS 15 update. All of your created Tab Groups will also be synced to your iPhone running iOS 15.
On iPhone, one can also create a New Tab Group, add a new tab to the group, rename the group, and even delete the group.
Organize Safari Tabs Like a Pro
Tab groups in the Safari browser is a neat add-on to improve the desktop browsing experience. However, we would like to see more theme options such as custom icons and color tabs like Google Chrome in Safari for future updates.
Did you find yourself using Safari Tab Groups after macOS 12.0 Monterey came out? Or are you comfortable with the Safari alternative on Mac? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
