Tab groups organise tabs, but how do you keep key pages visible together?
Do you use tab groups, split view, or separate windows when researching?
I’ve been working on a small macOS app called TiledBrowser after noticing that my Safari tabs were usually well organised, but not very visible.
Tab groups helped me keep projects together, but when I needed to compare 3-4 pages at once - docs, GitHub, dashboards, ChatGPT, pricing pages, frontend viewports - I still ended up dragging tabs into separate windows and arranging them manually.
That made me realise there are two slightly different problems:
organising lots of tabs
making a few important tabs visible at the same time
Curious how others handle this today.
Do you mostly use:
tab groups
multiple windows
macOS Split View / Stage Manager
Arc/Vivaldi/Brave split views
a second monitor
something else?
And if you use tab groups heavily, do you ever still need a few pages visible side by side?
I’m building TiledBrowser around the second problem: turning selected Safari tabs into a saved tiled workspace. But I’m mostly interested in how people think about the workflow before I launch it.
