I just don't use tab grouping (yet) and I don't want this particular auto-group feature which I keep triggering by accident

Trigger it by accident? Isn't that like saying, that you can't control your mouse? Or what is it that happens... I have many tabs open, all the time, I use groups too - and I have not once triggered it by accident. You have to hover over a tab, bit another tab, to activate it... and then, it is clearly visible, if you to - and then all you have to do, is move the tab a little away, to to remove the suggested group.
That's a bit ableist. Some people have issues with motor skills, or just a bad mouse that jumps all over the place. You have to make unnecessary stuff like this at least opt-out.
I don't object to opt out of a function. And yes - I guess I expect this to be a problem, only if you use a mouse - and if you can't handle that, maybe it's not the right tool for you... Take that in what way you want.
