I was among the folks who at first didn't care for the feature, but it quickly grew on me. Things I noticed (perhaps useful for UX folks) * In a default one-handed grip, it was easier to switch between tabs because the multitasking button on Android is near where one's thumb usually is. Now to switch tabs, you have to reach diagonally across the screen on top near the address bar (which is aggravated by unnaturally big phones, but that's another story) * I am not on the dev channels, and was not particularly "in the know" about the upcoming change. So I was extremely frustrated to find one day that not only suddenly a fundamental behaviour changed, but there was no option to set it back!! Really disrespectful to the user. If I was dead-set on changing it I would put a highlight near the setting that it was going to be deprecated soon. I then resolve to switch to Firefox on Android, and I can't believe I didn't do it earlier. While I've made peace with the fact that "merge apps and tabs" are gone, I found out that Firefox had a vastly superior feature set, the most delightful of which is the "Tab Queue" feature. (E.g. when browsing in the Twitter app, and you click on links it doesn't switch to the browser, it queues the link in Firefox. Once you're done with Twitter, you can now switch to Firefox and all the links are retrieved then)
