Good riddance. Maybe others found this useful, I don't know, but all it did for me was conflate two disparate concepts (really; tabs are not apps) and cause clutter in what was a useful UI. It was the first thing I disabled after switching back to Android from iOS.
- reustle 10y agoI got pretty comfortable with it. If I opened up hacker news, then the messenger app, then reddit, it stayed in that order which felt very natural.
- DavidTWco 10y agoI found it particularly helpful when combined with the quick-switching between apps in Android N.
- reidrac 10y agoI liked it. It felt quite natural to look for the pages in my app list, instead of getting to the browser and then switch tabs. I guess I tend to use more websites than native apps. Also the new (old?) behaviour keeps the last tab open when I close the browser, which is annoying and a step backwards in usability. It doesn't seem to be possible to change this. In my opinion it would have been better to leave the functionality and just turn it off by default.
- EpicEng 10y agoMy issue is that I tend to have a lot of tabs (> 5) open at once. Because apps and tabs were combined, switching between apps became a chore as I had to swipe through so many tabs. I like keeping them separate.
- thechriswalker 10y agoI did not like the feature and did not use it. That doesn't make it OK to remove a feature that people did use and like. That feels like a bit of a slap - what if they decide to remove some other feature I like but other people don't use (e.g. the always allow zoom feature which I would not like to go without)
- EpicEng 10y agoWell, I can commiserate there. I'm currently delaying my chrome update to avoid losing backspace functionality.
