So... Nothing really useful or what users are asking for a long time...

And we then ask why people aren't using Firefox...

Tab groups is pretty useful. My partner refused to try firefox in the past because it didn't have tab groups and now they're able to use it as their main browser.

It's useful, but it's a meaningless feature.

We've been asking for a good JS and HTML engine, faster than what Firefox uses, and for better compatibility with websites (there are webs that don't work properly with Firefox). And to not put the Manifest V3 into Firefox (which it's done already, besides we still have uBlock Origin working as intended, for now, because nobody knows what's going to happen with that in the future).

And I think that's way more important that being able to group tabs.
