I second this. This has been a feature I can't live without. I can use it to apply PARA method within the workspace and it is incredibly useful. Example from Arc: Screen.Recording.2024-12-11.at.7.46.57.PM.mov |

Wanted to try zen, but without directories it's a no-go for me |

We are letting firefox finish their implementation of tab groups so we can build upon it, hence it will probably take a while for Zen to have something like that |

Tried it on firefox 135 -> browser.tabs.groups.enabled true |

Not ideal, they don't allow nesting iirc. |

Have you considered to use this approach for tab grouping instead to support nesting? |

I think he mentioned that would require some rewriting & reworking because you can't open bookmarks inline by default. I would look into it but ran into issues when trying to build the dev env lol. |

Hello, @RayZ3R0! Zen is awesome! However, as other users mentioned, that's the only thing I need to move from Arc to Zen. Do you have a timeline for its release? I'm anxiously waiting here! 🙃 |

Just wanted to mention that Mozilla has just begun implementing tab groups into their Nightly builds: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1907090 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1938187 https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/a1ddc48882ff I did some tests and it seems to work pretty well!
This would really round out the experience in Zen. |

Hi On Brave Beta browser has folders for group tabs. I use this addon Simple Tab Groups at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/ Also it can backup the bookmarks in the settings. You create a new group for each spaces you have. Then you click the group that you open. leave it open when you shut down the computer then when you go back on zen it will have the same open group.

@RayZ3R0 @ldinino One particular area where I prefer the use of folders is. In sikdekick, whenever I open the browser, the tab groups reopen and I need to go through and close them. In arc, the folders are in the same state as they were before I closed the browser. |

Jumping onto this thread to say i also would like this. Hopefully mozzilla can implement their stable version soon so we can get it in zen |

@RayZ3R0 @ldinino I personally feel that it would be better to base thus feature type off of sideberry rather than mozillas tab grouping The reason being, as mentioned above. I have used sidekick who base it on Chromes grouping option which is very limited. A solution based on Sideberry would definitely be an excellent addition |

to dev, why not just add a special folder to bookmark and use it for store tab data that user can also rename tab or add folder or sync it, make ui to combine tab and the bookmark that store in special folder to make it look like using normal tab. for example. |

Good idea! Syncs well automatically too |

I already use bookmarks to back up and sync tabs manually, this is a good idea |

I really would prefer this approach because, with the firefox tab-groups it's not possible to have nested folders like in arc |

|
As described above, it seems that this wouldn't preserve information about what container a tab belongs in. |

Another great feature would be that able to open child tabs like in Sidebery or SigmaOS |

From what I've read, the Zen team is still waiting for a stable implementation from Firefox before doing any work here: #3152 (comment). |

I hope they consider this approach instead because Firefox tab groups does not support nesting |

Enabling tab groups in advanced config does not seem to work great so far. Also it doesn't work for pinned tabs. It caused a few bugs for me, tabs not opening properly, and also the groups not collapsing/expanding either. |

Why not just add an optional bookmarks section in the side bar under the pinned tabs? Could be linked to the firefox bookmarks toolbar folder. That way we can create and delete bookmark folders and to return to our saved bookmarks easily and in the Native Sidebar UI? |

I truly love the project, but I wish it were built on something other than 🔥🦊. I miss folders and WebKit. Yes, I know the team loves PCs. |

Bump. I was hyped to try it out but without folders it's a no-no. Really crucial feature. |

I gave the feature a try on the latest build. Going into about:config and setting browser.tabs.groups.enabled to true seems to work somewhat. It's a little jank, but works much better than it did before. Your mileage may vary. (Tested on 1.9.1b with macOS and Windows) |

yeah, on Windows, you can combine the tabs into a group and name the group, but I'm assuming you can't drag the group because it is meant to slide horizontally. |

Ill be honest, I am fearing the worst in terms of the potential folders that are on offer Key differences between what I am used to from Arc and what it looks like is available for Zen 1 - Arc only offers folders for pinned tabs - So far Zen can only group non-pinned tab as per firefox
I feel that if this is relying solely on Firefoxs grouping function, that it wont work and give the results that would make people want to switch over from Arc I am using both at the minute, purely in the hope that Zen can offer something comparable but I think there needs to be some outside the box thinking for it to work |

Too add to the above... On another note, I think Arc looks more polished in terms of its appearance especially with the pastel colours it uses, but that is a minor thing |

If you add this, i think lot of ARC users are going to pass into Zen
