I mostly use tab groups to keep and hide the context for a task I'm going to return to later. For a given task I might have design docs, Jira tickets, meeting notes, technical documentation, and a dashboard open. I can group all of those into a tab group, collapse it, and then they're out of sight, out of mind until I return to that task.
I could use windows the same way, but my personal preference is to use tab groups so I can keep fewer windows open.
Right now I also have several tab groups that are each a collection of current documentation and historical context for a particular internal system at my company. I always intend to turn a tab group like that into a list of links in a note, and sometimes I do, but a lot of them are still sitting around. Chrome is reliable enough at restoring them that I have tab groups I've kept for over a year.
I also have groups of documents I intend to read and digest better. They are 90% aspirational, but they serve a psychological purpose. I frequently scan through them, so anything that gets ignored for very long probably isn't important.
