Tab Groups Auto creation Problem | websites opened from favorites bar should be put in a new group
Here is the video showing the problem in action
Edge has recently got Tab groups auto create feature, it has one big problem:
as you can see in the video above, it's a pretty usual and normal procedure:
- Go to a website, like YouTube, and start right-clicking on a few links/videos and open them in new tabs
- Edge automatically creates a tab group, putting the original website and other tabs that you opened in step 1, into one tab group.
- now open an item from favorites bar in a new tab, (like Microsoft Tech Community), Edge puts it into the same tab group as the previous website!
- obviously, this isn't desired, you want YouTube tabs to stay in One tab group and Microsoft forum tabs be in a different tab group, that's just logical and makes sense.
this shouldn't happen. because previous links and tabs were all related, but when you open a new website from favorites, it has a different domain, and it's a different website, Edge shouldn't put it into the same tab group, instead, Edge should automatically create a new tab group and put it in there.

3 - Wrong
4 - what it actually should be
I'm sending this as feedback from Edge, shortcut for it (Alt + Shift + i), please you do the same and add the details to your feedback.
p.s this problem doesn't happen when you open a website in a new tab from favorites button on Edge toolbar.
- Dennis5mileSilver ContributorAgree 100%. I've found the same exact problem with Facebook, Walmart, Financial pages etc... all 13 tabs in same group..
