How many tabs do you have open in your browser right now?
We all have different ways of working. Some of us prefer to have a minimal number of things displayed on our screens. Others thrive when everything is open and insight.
But we can all agree that having 20 tabs open in your browser at any one time hurts productivity.
It takes so much more time to find the web pages and services you need when you’re looking for them.
This might not be a problem for much longer.
If you’re a fan of Microsoft browser Edge, you’ll be interested in a new feature that will debut soon.
Workspaces were initially revealed a year ago, back in April 2021. But since then, Microsoft has gone quiet about it. So we assumed it was dead in the water.
But a preview build of Edge that’s just come out for developers includes an option to create new Workspaces. So, we could all be seeing the feature rolled out in the months ahead.
Workspaces allow you to group browser tabs and open or close groups with a click.
There are several ways you might use this. For example, perhaps to keep work-related and personal information separate. Or you are even grouping information relating to different projects.
These groups can be named and color-coded, so it’s easy to find the correct information at the right time.
And unless you delete a Workspace, when you close and reopen Edge, all your tabs will be there waiting for you.
There’s no release date for this yet. But if you can’t wait to get stuck in, more good news – Google’s Chrome browser already offers a similar feature called tab groups.
A simple right-click lets you group tabs, label them, and color code them. You can even reorder them on your tab strip to organize them further.
