Hi @Mattches , Is there a way to save tab groups? When I quit Brave and open it again, all tab groups are gone. ---

This is on macOS? Tab groups should be saved automatically just like any open tabs. Do you have your browser set to `Continue where you left off` in `Settings --> Appearance`? ---

Yes, I do. And even when I just close Brave, the tab groups are gone. ---

Curious. Do you have any data set to be cleared “on exit” (`Settings --> History —> Clear browsing data --> [On Exit]`)? ---

No, I don’t. I don’t know if it’s important but I have the same issue with pinned tabs. They’re gone after quitting or closing Brave. ---

Do you have any extensions installed in the browser at this time? If so, can you try temporarily disabling them and testing to see if you get the same behavior? ---

I disabled all extensions but all tab groups are gone after quitting and closing Brave. ---

I’m reaching out to some team members for additional input. Can you please confirm what version of the browser you’re currently using, as well as what macOS version you’re on? ---

Also, is anything set in brave://flags ? (Anything with a non-default setting will be sorted to the top, and will have a blue dot next to it.) ---

I found out that tab groups were set to default, so I set it to enabled. But then I have to right click on a bookmark group in the bookmarks bar to go to bookmarks inside. Clicking on a a bookmarks group with one finger, loads all bookmarks into the address bar. A total mess. Tab groups are still not working when “save tab groups” is enabled. I’m using Monterey 12.2.1 and Brave 1.36.117. ![Screen Shot 2022-03-17 at 2.19.15 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/brave/original/3X/8/2/829cf0c1cf09a82caea87c44a886b895d0c7ed8a.png) ![Screen Shot 2022-03-17 at 2.18.30 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/brave/original/3X/d/7/d7e31f69d181c185f3ef934fd18fb396d0b2669f.png) ---

HI, any news? I have sent two screenshots four days ago. ---

You shouldn’t need to use any flags to save tab groups, the default behavior is to reopen browser windows to the same tabs/groups as when they were closed. Can you please [create a new temp. browsing profile](https://community.brave.app/t/create-a-new-profile-to-help-troubleshoot/190807/2) and test this behavior to see if you get the same results there? ---

I created another profile and it worked with the new one. I installed all extension step by step and it kept working. Then I deleted the “old” profile and the new profile stopped working immediately. Conclusion It works with two profiles, but only with a new one. But a soon as I delete one, Brave stops working correctly. Update: I gave it another try and it failed. A new profile but the tabs are gone every time I close or quit Brave. Same with pinned tabs. Brave does not save it. ---
