I sometimes accidentally drag tabs rather than click them (touchpad sucks). I already have an extension that prevents them opening as separate windows. But recently new interesting things started happening: Sometimes they "group" together, I have no idea what the point of it is or how to undo that. Just now one of my tabs turned into a mini icon version???

dragging a tab on top of another tab merges them into a "group" containing both of those tabs. it's like making folders on a phone's home screen, and it's exactly the same kind of fiddly because if you're not holding it dead center it assumes you're trying to rearrange them instead so it shoves them aside instead of creating the folder

dragging a tab all the way to the left and holding it there will pin it, a little pushpin icon will appear if you're holding it in the right spot
