    Glad to finally hear more about tab groups!

    Wait a minute… what day is it? Hmmm… not sure if I should trust, lol.

    Here I’m still using the separate search box. Why wouldn’t I? Plenty of screen real estate horizontally. Nice to be able to do quick math there though I suppose.

      Honestly, this is just the way it should be. Searching is fundamentally different than trying to access a website.

      I love trying to search for something like “node.js” but can’t because it thinks it’s a website…

    I like most of this, but if search term persistence makes it harder for me to tweak the URL (like on mobile), it’s going to be really annoying. I’ll suspend judgment until I’ve tried it, I guess.

      Hmm, what do you dislike about the behaviour on mobile? Like, do you actually need to edit the URL of your search provider? Personally, haven’t run into a situation where I needed that yet…

        Yup - most typically to change TLD (e.g. from example.com to my own country, when I’m after local results) or as a quick way of copying the URL without unnecessary extra arguments to share elsewhere.

          Ah, right, because of google.com and google.co.uk and such. The search engines I use, don’t have the money for so many domain names, so it’s just a UI selection. 🫠
          With the address bar rework, you could register both of them as a search engine and then simply select the other one to change language/region.

          Copying the URL could be problematic, yeah. I don’t have the update yet, so I wouldn’t know, if it’s something real simple like just right-clicking the address bar. If you really do need it, then it should still be possible to browse to the search engine’s webpage directly and issue your query via the search box on the webpage.

            @Vincent@feddit.nl was dead right in their comment here - you can escape out of the search by tapping Esc twice, at which point you’re back to the URL. Panic over!

    You can close a group and reopen it later.

    I thought tab groups on the desktop were neat but ignorable… Until browser vendors started implementing stuff like this. Now it’s basically a halfway point between an open tab and a bookmark. Excellent for organization.
