Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention includes systems and methods for grouping into a visual container open browser tabs based on an analysis of uniform resource locators, content, or other information relating to the plurality of open browser tabs. The analysis may include calculating a similarity score. Based on a comparison of the similarity score to one or more thresholds, a visual container is provided displaying groups of tiles corresponding to each of the pages open in the browser tabs. The visual container may be formatted as a set of browser tabs, each containing active tiles for each web page of a particular group. The visual container may be a screen showing piles of tiles, each pile corresponding to a particular group.
