How to Enable or Disable Tab Groups Auto Create in Microsoft Edge

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 Auto Create experimental flag in Microsoft Edge to automatically create tab groups for users, if tab groups are enabled.

If you enable Tab Groups Auto Create, tab groups will automatically be created when you open links in a new tab from within a currently open tab.

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