Windows 10: How to Enable or Disable Tab Groups Collapse in Microsoft Edge

Microsoft has adopted the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop to create better web compatibility. This new Microsoft Edge runs on the same Chromium web engine as the Google Chrome browser, offering you best in class web compatibility and performance.

The new Chromium based Microsoft Edge is supported on all versions of Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server (2016 and above), Windows Server (2008 R2 to 2012 R2), and macOS.

You can enable the Tab Groups experimental flag in Microsoft Edge to allow users to organize tabs into visually distinct groups, e.g. to separate tabs associated with different tasks.

Tab Groups includes the following features:

• Add tab to new or existing group
• Remove tab from group
• Name or rename group
• Open new tab in group
• Ungroup tabs in a group
• Close group to remove group and all added tabs

Starting with the Microsoft Edge Canary 89.0.722.0 version , you can now enable the Tab Groups Collapse experimental flag in Microsoft Edge to allow a tab group to be collapsible and expandable, if tab groups are enabled.

If you enable Tab Groups Collapse, you can click/tap on the tab group name to toggle collapse and expand of the tab group.

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable Tab Groups Collapse in the Chromium based Microsoft Edge in Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10.

Enable or Disable Microsoft Edge Tab Preloading in Windows 10  

OK, I understand that I cannot find the entries in the registry because the default settings doesn't have them, i.e. they haven't yet been created either via GPEdit or .REG file.

Discussing just Option 2 (Enable or Disable Microsoft Edge Tab Preloading using a REG file), I also understand that the .REG file in step 3 creates a key/value entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE which has the effect of 'Disable Tab Preloading'.

What I don't understand is why - in step 2 (Enable Tab Preloading), i.e. to revert to default - the .REG file removes keys under both HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Why would there be a need in step 2 to remove a key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER (to revert to default) if step 3 didn't create the key/value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the first place?

 

Tab Groups in Edge

Is there any way to save all open tabs as a group, and reopen the entire group at once? Edge really feels like a huge step backwards in terms of features, but it is hard to believe that such simple, but useful, functionality would have been overlooked.

 

Tab Groups in Edge

What a shame Edge has gone a step backwards from IE in this area.

Internet Explorer supported Tab Groups. It's lack in Edge is one of the main reasons I don't use Edge as my default browser.

Other reasons: Titlebar and address bar are too big. and take up too much space.
