[silversurfer]

Google today announced a few new features being added to the Chrome browser that relate to the management and performance of tabs. Some of the features have been in testing, which are now being made available to the stable channel. Those include the tab groups feature, and a more touch friendly version of the browser that is slowly rolling out to Chrome OS users, and tab previews. There are a few improvements to Chrome on Android as well.
 
The first in the list of improvements is a 10% improvement in tab performance. The company says that tab loads are now faster, thanks to the enhancements made to Profile Guided Optimization. The company will also be adding tab throttling to improve performance of active tabs.

The tab groups feature is also being made available to Chrome users in the stable channel. As the name suggests, Chrome now lets users group tabs and name them for easier segregation. These groups can be moved around, collapsed, and expanded.
