Are there any known issues with it? I just updated on my Mac and don't appear to be able to group tabs - dragging one on top of another just reorders them

For some context, I'm using sites like https://www.theverge.com/ and https://www.wired.com/ for more general browsing. Wired had a UK domain with some different content, but that appears to have ceased operation and now the .co.uk domain redirects to the general .com
There are people on HN (or probably other sites, maybe Reddit?) who will invite "strangers", but typically we want to have some idea what the person is like, as an invite creates a permanent link (on the site) between the inviter and the invitee.
If the invitee turns out to be a spammer, or posts a bunch of hate speech etc, the inviter may be held responsible for the invitee's actions. This isn't a hypothetical, it's explicitly explained in on the invite form, and I've seen cases where people were banned because they invited people who then acted spammy.
Yea I understand the reasoning, but my general apathy prevented me from going that route - it was a "do I care enough about <topic> to go throuugh finding someone and convincing them to vouch for me?" type thing, and the few times I've wanted to comment, I've just given up.
I'm not against the invite-only system, having been a forum moderator for several years, but I'm happy to just be a consumer/observer of the conversation rather than a participant.
I find Lobste.rs generally has more nuanced discussion about tech (and only tech, non tech stories are removed) and fewer hot takes, but it's also a heck of a lot "quieter" (i.e. much less volume of both stories and comments - the current #2, #3 and #4 articles on the homepage are 12+ hours old)
It also isn't intrinsically linked to the VC scene like HN, which may or may not be a plus/minus, depending on your views.
I tried getting access to the site once but gave up as the invitiation thing was a bit of a gatekeeper for me (by design)

This article is from 2018, and contains a single update from 2020. I would think the terrain has shifted in the last 3 years, so take the article with an appropriate pinch of salt.
Digging around there appears to be a newer article (which probably prompted the original thread) is here https://palant.info/2023/08/29/chrome-sync-privacy-is-still-... which has it's own HN thread here
