When using STP 126 on both Monterey beta 1 & Big Sur 11.4, a 'tab group' created in STP is not saved (ie if browser restarts it's gone), nor does it appear to be synced across to iOS or Safari 15 (either direction).
There's no indication in the release notes this is intentional.
Does anyone have even saving working, let alone sync? The tab groups are a wonderful idea - I played with them for a while on Monterey but need my main dev box on Big Sur for now, so was hoping STP would keep me happy :-)

Add a CommentI actually have the opposite issue: I've created several tab groups during Monterey beta and now those tab groups and the tabs within them are stuck in that initial version and I cannot update them anymore. I close a tab and quit Safari, next time I open it it's back where it was. I move tabs into the default tab group (did this with all tab groups), next time I start Safari the tab groups are back there, closed tabs reappear, newly opened tabs disappear. I cannot get Safari to save the tab and tab group setup no matter what - tried deleting cookies, history, local storage...
This sounds exactly like what I experienced when I updated to Safari Version 15.3 (16612.4.3, 16612).. I could delete a group (or several) and even if hours had passed, as soon as I open up a new webpage (or tab), they ALL reappear. There doesn’t appear to be any way of going back to a previous version of Safari. I would like to delete Safari prefs to go back to no Tab Groups. I can export (& later import) Bookmarks if necessary.
I can confirm that the groups are not saved. Example: Use case 1:
put 2-3 links in any tab group.then try to close 1 tab in the above tab groupswitch to another tab group-switch back to the previous tab group where you deleted the tab from Expected:
the removed tab should be removedActual:
the removed tab group is still restored like no close tab action have been performed...
