[Fox News] How to group tabs in different browsers to stop tab overload
If you’re anything like me, you probably have several tabs open on your browser. I often have tabs open dedicated to my emails, research for work, articles I’m writing and additional tabs off to the side for news.

OneTab is one of our favorite browser extensions, but now that Chrome, Safari and Edge have introduced tab groupings, it’s now only a must-have if you use any other browser such as Firefox.

I’ve always been a browser hoarder, and creating groups of tabs is a great way to keep everything under control.
