Google Chrome will now let you sync Tab Groups to use across devices; auto Safety Check coming too

tech.hindustantimes.com:

Google Chrome has started rolling out a trio of new features in the Chrome 120 build for desktops. The most notable among them is the sync Tab Groups feature, which lets you better organize and group together the tabs you're actively working on, and then sync them to pick it up on a separate desktop device. This feature will help users quickly boot their projects and not have to visit the history to manually pick up the tabs. Alongside, Chrome is also changing its security feature called Safety Check so that it alerts you if one of your passwords has been compromised automatically. It will now run in the background, and shoot an alert in case your passwords need to be changed.

Google announced the new features in its blog post where it stated, “This week, we're rolling out new security and performance features in Chrome — just in time for any last-minute gift browsing”. These new features come the same week Chrome for Android received a design upgrade to its home page favicon carousel.

Tab groups have been a part of Google Chrome for some time now. They allow you to group together multiple tabs together under a common umbrella to better organize your projects. You can add a specific name and a color to customize tab groups as well. And for space-saving, you can hide them in the top strip as well.

But now, Chrome is adding a sync function to these tab groups. This means you can manually save and sync your tab groups on your PC, and leave for work. Then pick it up right from where you left it on your work laptop, as long as you're logged into the same Google account.

Google said, “Tab groups are a useful way to declutter and organize your tabs in Chrome, especially if you're browsing for, say, presents from different sites.
