Abstract

Multiple tabs are displayed in a tab row, with each tab corresponding to a respective display of content. In response to receiving a single action user input, two or more of the multiple tabs are grouped together into a tab group that is displayed in the tab row instead of the two or more tabs. These two or more tabs may be grouped together according to a wide range of options that may be designated by a user. Tab groups enable simultaneous interaction with individual tabs of the tab group, such as sharing, saving, and viewing content associated with the individual tabs. Ungrouped tabs and tab groups displayed in the tab row can further be sorted for display according to one or more user preferences to enhance the overall experience in interacting with different displays of content.
