I'm always very happy to see UX innovation, so kudos to Chrome for that.
However, I just don't quite see the point of this particular feature.
If you only have a handful of tabs open (like the 4 in the example), you hardly need to bother to categorize them.
While if you have a ton of tabs, you can already use different windows (one for personal, one generally for work, one for a specific project, etc.). Shift-selecting and dragging multiple tabs at once makes it pretty easy.
What "tab collectors" seem to universally like truly is tree-style tabs, so you can see the titles of your 40 tabs and see which one opened which. I suppose I can just hope that maybe they're taking baby steps toward that?
