• determining, based on the analyzing, that an open browser tab includes an image thereon;
• analyzing features in the image;
• computing, based on the analysis, a similarity score between the image on the open browser tab and a known image;
• determining that the similarity score exceeds a predetermined threshold;
• and
• grouping the open browser tab into a first visual container based on the determination, wherein the first visual container contains a subset of the plurality of open browser tabs having content relating to a particular category to which the known image pertains.
