Firefox had this for years and then deprecated it in favor of the TabHiding WebExtension API. I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-gr... and it works quite well for my use cases.

I'm happy one of Opera's founder started Vivaldi (yeah, another Chromium-based browser), it allows placing tabs on the side of the browser window, so I can have 40 tabs open and still see the title of each...

Vivaldi has this ages ago I also use Palemoon + Tab Kit for tab group

https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/tabkit2/

I hope Vivaldi will have colored tab groups too...

I'm a mostly-happy Opera user who has been annoyed by a few things (eg terrible colours of tabs in dark mode, weird touch support bugs in Win10). What's your fav key difference? I'm ready to jump.
