This tutorial will show you how to add tabs to new and existing groups and remove tabs from groups in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The Microsoft Edge web browser is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS. With speed, performance, best in class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features.

You can organize your tabs of webpages with Tab groups in Microsoft Edge. Group related tabs and customize them with a name and a color, so you can easily navigate and stay focused.

The name of a tab group will appear in the selected color on the left side of the tab group.

A group of tabs will have the same color grouping, and the same color line will appear above the tabs to distinguish between new and existing tabs and groups.

You can click/tap on a group name to collapse the tab group when you need more space, and click/tap on the group name again to expand open the tab group.
