Disabling the 'Tab Group' button in Chrome

Google has added a 'Tab Groups' grid icon to Chrome to make it easier to manage tabs. Tab Groups already allow you to group multiple open tabs in Chrome by label. You can remove the 'Tab Groups' button by right-clicking on the bookmarks bar and disabling 'Show Tab Groups'. The Chrome update added a new grid icon called 'Tab Groups' to the bookmarks bar. This button provides additional options for managing tab groups, such as pinning and quick access. If you want more space on the bookmarks bar, you can remove the button using the following method.

What is the 'Tab Groups' button for?

The 'Tab Groups' button provides a dropdown menu with multiple features for managing tab groups. For example, you can immediately access a group or create a new empty group. When you save or close a group, the button will be displayed on the bookmarks bar. Combining the group with the tab strip will immediately turn the entire browser into an unnecessary state, distorting the purpose of the function. The 'Tab Groups' button did not appear until 2024, but tab groups have been activated by default for several years. You can group tabs under a single labeled group using tab groups, which is useful when opening multiple tabs at once. However, if you don't have enough RAM or prefer to manually track tabs, this button can cause unnecessary clutter in your browsing experience. How to disable the 'Tab Groups' button in Chrome There are two simple methods to remove the 'Tab Groups' button. Method 1: Removing the 'Tab Groups' button without losing the tab group functionality. If you only want to remove the button and not the functionality, you don't need to worry. To remove the button, right-click anywhere on the bookmarks bar and disable 'Show Tab Groups'. Check if the button has disappeared and there is no checkmark next to the options. To reactivate the 'Tab Groups' button, simply reverse the steps. However, the way to use tab groups will not change. For example, to create a new group, click on an existing tab and select 'Add Tab'. To permanently remove the new 'Tab Groups' button and related features, open a new tab and enter `chrome://flags` in the address bar, then press Enter. In the search bar, type 'Tab Groups Save UI Update' and disable the option, then restart Chrome. The 'Tab Groups' button is not completely useless, but most people will not use it because it takes up additional space on the important bookmarks bar. You can easily manage tab groups within the tab strip and maintain complete functionality!
