Tab groups vs workspaces in 30 seconds
They solve different layers of the same problem—too many tabs.
Workspaces
Separate desktops for life vs work, client A vs client B. Each workspace keeps its own tab set—and often its own look, shortcuts, and sidebar state.
Power users want both: workspaces for context switching, tab groups for micro-organization inside each workspace. Only a handful of browsers ship the pair out of the box.

Why Tabbit stacks AI groups on workspaces
Tabbit was built for people who already love tab groups and workspaces—but hate maintaining them manually. Import from Chrome in one click, then let AI keep clusters tidy while Agent mode runs tasks in parallel tab groups.
Smart groups by topic
Open 40 tabs across three projects—Tabbit proposes workspace-like groups so you see full titles in the vertical sidebar.
Agent tab groups
Delegate research or form-filling to Agent mode; it works in an isolated tab group while you keep browsing elsewhere.
Free top models
Domestic and international editions include leading LLMs at no cost—summarize, compare, and reorganize tabs with @-context.
Zero migration pain
Bookmarks, passwords, extensions, and history import from Chrome, Edge, or Safari so switching does not reset your setup.
Common questions
FAQ: tab groups & workspaces
What is the difference between tab groups and workspaces?+
Tab groups organize tabs inside one browser window. Workspaces are separate contexts—each with its own tab collection—so you can switch between “Work” and “Personal” without mixing sessions.
Which browsers have both tab groups and workspaces?+
Vivaldi, Opera/Opera GX, Microsoft Edge, Arc, Zen, and Tabbit ship both layers natively. Brave offers tab groups but not full workspaces yet.
Is Tabbit free with tab groups and workspaces?+
Yes. Tabbit is free on Windows and macOS with AI smart grouping, vertical tabs, and Agent tab groups—no invite code required during public beta.
How does Arc Spaces compare to Opera GX Workspaces?+
Both separate contexts. Arc Spaces emphasize profiles and pinned tabs per Space; Opera GX Workspaces target gamers and students with icon-labeled desks and built-in GX mods.
Can I migrate tab groups when switching browsers?+
Tab groups rarely export 1:1. Tabbit imports bookmarks, passwords, and extensions from Chrome or Edge so you rebuild groups faster—AI grouping reduces manual sorting.
Do workspaces sync across devices?+
Edge Workspaces sync across signed-in devices. Vivaldi and Opera sync depending on account settings. Tabbit focuses on smart local grouping plus cloud AI features—check the edition you install.
Are vertical tabs required for workspaces?+
No, but they pair well. Tabbit, Arc, Edge, and Vivaldi offer vertical sidebars so workspace switches stay readable when tab counts climb.
Why pick Tabbit over Vivaldi or Opera?+
If you want AI to maintain groups, run parallel Agent tasks, and reference any tab with @ in one omnibox—Tabbit is the AI-native option. Vivaldi and Opera excel if you prefer manual, deeply customizable control.
