Today I suddenly get this annoying little tab group thing in my top bar and can’t get rid of it. I don’t want this function on and this page linked below says I can turn it off, except there is no such option in my appearance settings. The only option I see is “Only open links in current tab group” but disabling that did nothing.
I can move my tabs left one by one and finally Brave asks if I want to delete the tab group, but this is tedious, it still comes back, and if it’s near the start of the bar and I try to drag a tab, the tab goes into it and I get this weird split screen thing, I don’t even know, all I know is I don’t want it and the little number thing takes up space and I don’t want to accidentally trigger the split screen thing. This thing appears eventually even though I don’t select open new tab in group or whatever anymore. How do I get rid of it?
(No, I cannot update Android. This is the final version for my device.)
While trying to move tabs around just now to get rid of the useless thing, my tablet just rebooted–not a browser crash, my entire tablet! And coming back on and finishing the job, it was like the two grouped tabs stuck together while I was moving them again, they overlapped a bit at first…I can’t really explain.
Seriously, now that it’s starting to crash my tablet (a memory issue?), I’d really prefer to turn it off. I read the explanation of tab groups linked above and I don’t even understand it, I’d never use it.
Also, why does autocorrect not work on this forum…?
Yes, same problem on my tablet, too. Am on Android 10, Lenovo Yoga Tab.
It’s not happening on my mobile phone, and that’s even older; there it works like described in Brave help, with visible groups, which I like.
This weird insertion of numbers between tabs and no option to turn this feature off has to be a bug.
Oh thank god it’s not just me. I had this happen this week and thought I did something wrong, but it seems it’s just Brave being stupid. Someone DM us when there’s a solution, I do not like tab grouping and would rather have no tab grouping since they all get jumbled together anyway and it’s not worth it.
***This post was originally under review for awhile, thus why I made a 2nd post, which wasn’t flagged. ***
This is very annoying, so much so, I just registered on here to voice my frustration.
I’m running Brave Mobile (Brave Version 1.70.117, Chromium 129.0.6668.59)
When browsing a webpage and I click (tap) on an image or link that opens a new tab, my current tab, plus the new tab get automatically “grouped.” When I close the newly opened tab, planning to go back to my original tab, my original tab is now in a group by itself. Scrolling through multiple tabs, this single tab group is pointless.
I’m finding this new feature frustrating as well. Signed up just to comment about it.
It is very annoying when clicking on a link or picture that opens a new tab. That new tab now creates a group with the original tab. When I close that new tab, the original tab is now in a group, by itself. It’s pretty pointless for this UI design as it doesn’t have any benefits when scrolling through my open tabs.
Then to remove the original tab from this silly group of 1, I have to do this dragging of the tab in the group toward the bottom to delete the group. Every time a new tab gets opened from the original tab.
