Please help me understand how to use tab groups and how to use bookmarks and why they are different things.

[-] everett@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

I don't know about groups specifically, but keeping a tab open retains its history, so you can go back (and forward) later.

Yes, tab groups maintain history, even across save & reopen operations.

Oops, I wasn't clear... I meant I don't know what the use-case is for tab groups, but keeping tabs open in any form should save history. (Thank you for letting me know, though!)

I gave a few of my personal use cases above, but in short: when I need to reference or act on multiple things on different sites at short notice, and will probably need to again later; to label tabs; and when I need multiple tabs of the same website, but because the URL doesn't update a bookmark is insufficient.

Edit: You're welcome!
