Splitgate isn’t dead yet. On Thursday, developer 1047 Games revealed a cinematic trailer for Splitgate 2, a revamped version of the free-to-play multiplayer shooter, which uses the same portal mechanic that made the game so fun the first time around.

When Splitgate 2 launches in 2025, it will come with some notable upgrades. The developers say they’ve “rebuilt everything from the ground up” in Unreal Engine 5 and also added a new faction-based system. “There will be familiar elements, but on the whole, Splitgate 2 should look and feel completely fresh from the original,” 1047 Games says.

While the Splitgate 2 trailer doesn’t feature actual gameplay, it does give us a peek at the Splitgate world 1047 Games is focused on building. There’s a new mobile companion app you can download on Android and iOS that has free comics, rewards, and other features. I have to admit, I didn’t expect much from a sequel after the end of the first Splitgate — but the new focus on lore has me looking forward to getting back into the game.

The Splitgate sequel will remain free to play and will be available on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. 1047 Games says it will have more details to share about the game in August.

If you’re anything like me, you probably have several tabs open on your browser. I often have tabs open dedicated to my emails, research for work, articles I’m writing and additional tabs off to the side for news.

A simple way to keep everything organized is by creating group tabs. Today, we will show you how to create group tabs in our favorite browsers: Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox, but first let’s go over the basics of tab browsing.

Tab browsing allows you to have multiple websites open in the same browser window. This multitasking capability is essential for keeping track of various online resources simultaneously, whether it’s your email, research, work articles or the latest news.

How to create a new tab

Creating a new tab is like adding another piece of paper to your desk. It’s simple:

• In most browsers, you can click the “+” icon, usually located next to the last tab on the tab bar, to open a new tab.
• Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+T on Windows or Cmd+T on Mac to open a new tab without reaching for the mouse.

Organizing tabs

Once you have all your tabs open, it’s time to organize them. Here’s how to group tabs in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari and Firefox browsers:

How to group tags in Safari

Creating a tab in Apple’s Safari browser is a bit different from the two above. Follow these steps to create a tab group:

• First, in your Safari window, press the down arrow from the upper left toolbar.

• From here, you can either create a group with the tabs you have open or you can create an Empty Tab Group to which you can add tabs.
• Once you click either option, you will be presented with the window in which you can name your browser tabs to your liking.

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR BROWSER HAS BEEN HIJACKED

How to create a tab group in Firefox

While tab groupings are a built-in feature in most browsers, Firefox doesn’t support them by itself. The easiest way to do this is by using one of our favorite browser extensions: OneTab. OneTab is available for Chrome, Edge, Safari, in addition to Firefox, and you may like its features more than the built-in tab grouping features of the browsers we’ve already highlighted.

Here’s how to install and setup OneTab for Firefox:

• Visit one-tab.com or search for OneTab or download it directly from the Firefox add-ons page, at addons.mozilla.org.

• Click Add to Firefox
• Now, you can click on the extensions icon in the upper right toolbar and run OneTab whenever you want.

OneTab is a great browser extension that allows you to save all the tabs you have open as a list, making it easy to restore them whenever you want. As an added bonus, OneTab helps cut down on browser RAM costs, helping your online browsing experience function faster. OneTab also lets you:

• Save all the tabs you had open as a list so you don’t have to take any additional action until you want to access the tabs again.
• Restore each tab or all the tabs later
• Get a reduction of memory use by 95%
• Export your list of tabs as URLs (website address) so you can take your list with you or share it with others.

Available on: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari

Kurt’s key takeaways

OneTab is one of our favorite browser extensions, but now that Chrome, Safari and Edge have introduced tab groupings, it’s now only a must-have if you use any other browser such as Firefox. Luckily, installing and setting up OneTab is just as easy as creating tag groups in any browser. Browser tabs are a great way to keep yourself organized, especially if you work with multiple browser windows open at once. I’ve always been a browser hoarder, and creating groups of tabs is a great way to keep everything under control.
