Google may have an interesting idea to help organize your untidy tabs in Chrome.

The search engine tech giant is reportedly working on a new experimental feature that automatically groups and categorize the plethora of tabs that overwhelm your browsing experience.

The helpful perk, apparently dubbed "organize tabs," makes automatic what folks already do manually with tab groups. Basically, you'd click "organize tabs" on the top-left corner of Chrome, and as a result, the browser will smartly group similar websites together on your behalf. Next, you can label these groups however you like.

X/Twitter user @Leopeva64 spotted the feature in Google's Chrome Canary channel, a version of the browser with experimental features.

It makes sense that Google would look for a way to automate this process. After all, many Google Chrome users struggle with having a barrage of tabs open. A simple button click to organize it all? That sounds amazing.
