Chrome group tabs on Android is trash

[winb83]

Not a fan of this whole tab group feature they keep pushing. I get that they make a feature but forcing it on users with an annoying way to turn it off isn't right. Turned it off once, the browser updated itself and turned it back on. Great way to make me switch browsers. Should have been a menu toggle.

Not at all. I like my Galaxy Note better than Apple's phone. I refreshed both my main phone Note20 Ultra and backup iPhone 12 Pro last year.

How do you turn it off?

Try Samsung's browser. I ditched Chrome on mobile when they killed some of the extensions I use (adblockers)

The Samsung joint, let me put them back on and I haven't looked back since. Since it's an Android phone, I can easily get my accounts/password info from the Password Manager on the phone that's tied to my Gmail accounts which links back to Chrome on my desktop.

Download Brave browser. Built-in AD block. Very similar to chrome with the option to turn off group tabs .

I threw chrome into the bushes just because of the group tabs and grid view.

Have been using Brave for at least a couple years now. Coli was unusable on Chrome-mobile. Switched and never came back. They have built-in ad-block.

I actually don't mind the tabs on my S10. But on my Samsung tablet you get no grid at all. I used to use Chrome on my old iPad and loved the grid for tab switching on the tablet. But you don't get that option at all on the Android tablets for some reason. Not even an option. You are forced into desktop style tabs. I had to abandon chrome and switch to Firefox. I used to like chrome on my tablet because I could easily view the same open tabs on my desktop on which I use Chrome predominately. I can't even began to understand the reasoning behind the move.

You have to turn off a couple flags. Experimental features on the browser. I looked it up on YouTube.

That method does not work any more.
