Systems and methods are described that include receiving, in a tab strip generated by a web browser application, a request to generate a tab group, generating the tab group, in response to receiving the request, where the generating includes generating a tab group identifier for the tab group, enabling pausing or starting of an activity associated with a resource accessed by a browser tab within the tab group based on whether the tab group is collapsed or expanded, and storing metadata about the tab group and the browser tab included in the tab group. The systems and methods may further include causing display of the generated tab group in the tab strip with the tab group identifier depicted in at least a portion of a user interface associated with the browser tab where the generated tab group is configured for display based on the metadata.

Browser tab management

In some implementations, a method includes acquiring data about a plurality of web pages rendered within one or more browser tabs of a web browser executing on at least one computing device and processing the acquired data to group the plurality of web pages into one or more groups of web pages. The processing includes performing a similarity analysis using the acquired data, where each group includes web pages that are determined to be topically related to each other based on the similarity analysis. The method includes selecting a group of web pages from the one or more groups of web pages that are determined to be topically-related to content displayed in the web browser and providing a navigation suggestion for display on a user interface of the web browser based on the selected group.

Browser-based navigation suggestions for task completion

A computing device can present, within a display, first network-associated content and a tab strip, the first network-associated content being associated with a first content locator, the tab strip including a first content indicator associated with the first content locator and a second content indicator associated with a second content locator, receive a directional input associated with the tab strip, in response to receiving the directional input, modify the presentation of the tab strip, the modification ending presentation of the first content indicator and initiating presentation of a third content indicator, the third content indicator being associated with a third content locator, receive a selection of the third content indicator, and in response to receiving the selection of the third content indicator, present second network-associated content at a location where the first network-associated content was previously presented, the second network-associated content being associated with the third content locator.

Presenting indicators associated with network-associated content

A method can include determining that a tab is stale, determining a first universal resource locator (URL) associated with the tab, determining that content presented by the stale tab corresponds to an object that is also presented by content associated with a second URL, determining, based on content associated with at least one of the first URL or the second URL, that a value of an attribute associated with the object has changed from the value of the attribute when the tab presented the object, and outputting a notification that the value of the attribute associated with the object has changed.
