TBF, I love my tab groups, and honestly having to come up with and type out a name for each of them is the biggest hurdle. It’s a small thing, but I can imagine myself using tab groups even more because of it.
I, on the other hand, don’t keep many tabs open normally, and the groups I use are of temporary convenience if I’m doing a lot of things at the same time.
I can easily spend a few seconds typing the group name in because I already know what the group is used for. I already have a name in mind, I don’t need the AI to slowly second-guess me.
…and if you don’t know what the group is used for, maybe allowing groups to remain initially unnamed would be a good design choice?
Oh speed is definitely going to be the make-it-or-break it here. I do usually know the name without thinking, but it’s having to type it (and preferably without typos) that’s the effort that would be nice to save.
It feels really stupid, because it’s really not that much effort. But I know myself - I also really like contactless payments, even though it really wasn’t that much effort to insert my card and type in my PIN. Yet it’s a small convenience for something that I do with some regularity. I imagine the same for this feature.
Honestly if it prefilled something like that that would already be an improvement, at least to create temporary ones (though in practice, they’re probably never temporary).

This feels like satire (but I worry it isn’t).
Tab group 1
tab group 2
