Chrome for Android has finally caught up with the desktop version; Chrome version 88 offers power users two important features for managing large numbers of tabs: tab groups and grid layouts.

However, these options are not default and require tweaking of settings to enable. However, these features can be a game changer for those who have trouble closing tabs and would rather organize them.

These features are arguably even more important on smaller sized devices, where the view to see what is open is narrower.

First of all, Chrome's tab switcher is now in grid mode. Previously, the tab switcher could be accessed by tapping the tab button just to the right of the address bar.

This means that you will see a small thumbnail-sized preview of each site, allowing you to actually see the page you have opened. This may not be a good thing for all users. This may not be good for all users, as fewer tabs will be visible at a time, and each tab will take up more space.

However, you can further organize your grid of tabs by creating groups of these tabs, like folders filled with apps and documents. This works just like organizing apps on your phone.

To create a tab group, drag and drop a tab onto another tab. Alternatively, tap the menu (three dots) button in the upper right corner of the tab switching view, then tap "Group Tabs." You can choose which tabs to group in Chrome.

To remove a tab from a group, tap and hold the tab and swipe.

However, what if these steps don't work, you may need to manually enable the tabs inside Chrome. Additionally, the grid of tabs may not be the best fit for everyone, so you can disable these features (see step 5).
