Enhanced browser tab management

Apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• computer memory holding computer program instructions executed by the processor for dynamically grouping browser tabs in a web browser user interface, the computer program instructions comprising:
• program code, operative to analyze web page content of a plurality of open webpage tabs in a web browser displayed on a display of a computer;
• program code, operative to dynamically receive sets of tab group criteria, each set of tab group criteria for a respective tab group;
• program code, operative to determine which ones of the plurality of open webpage tabs respectively satisfy a set of tab group criteria;
• program code, operative to group the plurality of open web page tabs into respective tab groups based on the determination, wherein at least one tab group has a tab group criteria which contains time criteria which limit the at least one tab group to be in effect for a non-recurring, predetermined duration;
• program code, operative to present the tab groups in the web browser display, each tab group display containing tabs representing a subset of the plurality of open webpage tabs which satisfy a respective set of tab group criteria;
• program code, operative to learn user browsing behavior to propose a new set of tab group criteria for a new tab group;
• program code, responsive to user input operative to exclude types of user actions from the learning;
• and
• program code, operative to propose via the user interface the new set of tab group criteria for the new tab group when a certain confidence level is reached by the learning code.

A computer program product in a non-transitory computer readable medium for use in a data processing system, the computer program product holding computer program instructions executed by the data processing system for dynamically grouping browser tabs in a web browser user interface, the computer program instructions comprising:

• program code, operative to analyze web page content of a plurality of open webpage tabs in a web browser displayed on a display of a computer;
• program code, operative to dynamically receive sets of tab group criteria, each set of tab group criteria for a respective tab group;
• program code, operative to determine which ones of the plurality of open webpage tabs respectively satisfy a set of tab group criteria;
• program code, operative to group the plurality of open web page tabs into respective tab groups based on the determination, wherein at least one tab group has a tab group criteria which contains time criteria which limit the at least one tab group to be in effect for a non-recurring, predetermined duration,
• program code, operative to present the tab groups in the web browser display, each tab group display containing tabs representing a subset of the plurality of open webpage tabs which satisfy a respective set of tab group criteria;
• program code, operative to learn user browsing behavior to propose a new set of tab group criteria for a new tab group;
• program code, responsive to user input operative to exclude types of user actions from the learning;
• and
• program code, operative to propose via the user interface, the new set of tab group criteria for the new tab group when a certain confidence level is reached by the learning code.
