2. Select "New empty tab group"

In this example, we want to group a few tabs we have open into a group called "faves." So we select the option for "new empty tab group." It should look like this.

3. Create a new for your group and name it

A small label for your new tab group should appear on the sidebar. From there, it'll give you the option to name the tab group. In this instance, we want to create a group of all our favorite sites, so we title it "faves." (Not for nothing, of course you should include Mashable in your favorite sites.) It should look like this.

4. Select and drag tabs into the new group

You can either control click the tab or simply drag the tap into the new group. From there, you can build groups however you please. Who knows, maybe your online life will finally have a bit more order to it.
