Pinned and grouped tabs

Pinned tab: right-click a tab → "Pin" — shrinks it to just an icon, always on the left, survives browser restarts.
Tab group (Chrome/Edge): right-click → "Add tab to new group" — visually groups related tabs and lets you collapse several into one click.

Ctrl + Shift + Tab also works by holding Ctrl and pressing Tab repeatedly to cycle visually through every open tab (like Alt + Tab between apps).
