-
Bookmark Bar: Organize your most frequently visited websites on the Bookmark Bar for quick access.
-
Bookmark Folders: Create folders to categorize your bookmarks for better organization.
-
Tab Groups: Group related tabs together for better management of multiple open tabs.

-
Quotation Marks: Use quotation marks around a phrase to search for exact matches.
