Chrome tab groups now allow mobile-desktop sync, and it’s utter chaos

Google has introduced a feature allowing users to sync their tab groups across mobile and desktop, with quiet phased rollouts after the announcement in September.
Reddit posts from months ago express confusion and frustration towards the new feature of synced tab groups in Chrome.
The feature allows for organized tab management with color-coded groups, available on both mobile and desktop versions of Chrome.
However, users have encountered issues such as overwhelming numbers of ungrouped tabs and lost tab groups upon disabling sync.
Despite potential productivity benefits, users report challenges in keeping personal and work-related browsing separate.
Reports indicate broken functionality, including lost tab groups, duplicate groups, and tabs landing on blank pages after restarts.
Disabling tab group syncing through Chrome flags seems to be a partial solution to managing tab chaos across devices.
Synced tab groups in Chrome have been criticized for being resource-intensive and causing confusion with an unclear interface on certain devices.
Comparatively, other browsers like Edge offer tab syncing features with limitations, pushing users to rely on workarounds and experimental systems.
Ultimately, the varied experiences with tab grouping features highlight the challenges users face in managing and syncing their browsing activities across different devices.
