    Sounds like the same as in Opera Mini and other browsers

      Ever heard about Via Browser? It's size and functionality will probably make u question WHY THE HELL THE SIZE OF CHROME IS 40+MB.

          How about they fix their app to work properly when every subsequent update breaks something which was working in a prior version, playing website embedded videos for example.

            Why didn't they also turn on chrome modern design, and have both material and horizontal tabs? The classic chrome design looks outdated AF.

Moreover regarding PWA for offline speed and offline web applications, it still has the best implemenation nowadays.

                        One of the reasons I ditched Android: Google waste far too much resources chopping and changing things, not for performance reasons, but simply for the sake of making a change.

                        Google must be run by women who spend their entire morning standing in front of a mirror not able to decide what to wear.

                          New and... mandatory? Or is it optional once they release a stable version? I'll go back to check on Firefox if the latter is true :S

                            Xhxhyy, 26 May 2018I still don't understand why they remove CHROME HOME featur... moreYes, that's why i never updated it since then

                              I won't use chrome as my browser any more if they do this nonsense.

                                Seriously? This is how the symbian 9.2 browser groups tabs. You wanna tell me google had to forego 67 versions to get to this? Wow, just wow.

                                  I still don't understand why they remove CHROME HOME feature from flags. Top-address-bar is very counter intuitive.

                                      Going back to the pre android nougat app switcher. Why? Because Apple did so. The Android purists won't complain even though they would go mental if this was implemented by a manufacturer skinned Rom.
