The Microsoft Edge was originally announced with Windows 10 in
2015 and it shipped with a number of exclusive features,
including PDF markup tools and ‘Set Tabs Aside’ button, which
was a great way to help users cut down on tab clutter.
With the feature, Microsoft allowed Edge users to set tabs
aside and access the pages again at a later time. Tabs Aside is
useful when you have a lot of tabs open and you need to banish
tab clutter without losing those tabs. When you set a tab
aside, the tabs are grouped by when they were minimized in
Microsoft Edge.
While the Set Tabs Aside option hasn’t yet been implemented in
Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, a developer has created a new
extension called ‘Tabs Aside’ and it allows you to create tab
stacks to banish tab clutter without losing the track of those
tabs.
The extension is available for both Google Chrome and Microsoft
Edge.
Like UWP Edge’s Set-aside tabs feature, you can use this
third-party extension to open each tab individually from its
large thumbnail.
The extension will group your tabs aside in a temporary
workspace and you can access it from the extension menu bar.
Tabs Aside extension offers a Microsoft Edge-like user
interface and it also respects your browser’s dark theme.
You can download ‘Tabs Aside’ extension from Chrome Web
Store and Microsoft
Edge Add-ons store.
After installing the extension, you can access the feature from
the browser’s extension menu and tabs will be stored in a list
that’s sorted by when they were set aside.
Microsoft hasn’t revealed when it plans to bring the original
Tabs Aside experience to Edge browser. Last year, the company
talked about the possibility of bringing Tabs Aside and other
features from the old version of Edge, but no guarantee was
given.
