This version is terrible. The start screen with the most visited sites doesn't show up anymore. It is slower on my phone and I don't even know anymore how to vi

  Yeah, I was very surprised, at first I thought: let's just get used to it, but I feel like I won't. Why on earth would hitting the biggest touchable area of the UI (the address bar) lead to a completely black screen with 0 options, that's just a big waste, it could have easily presented my most used websites there. I'm also looking for alternatives, it's a big step back imo. Right now I have 12 useless tabs open, I never had any tabs open (unless I opened them myself for later reading, and those tabs are now lost between all those useless tabs were I just wanted to switch to another website) but it's the only way to get to your favorites and collections (whatever collections may be, currently they are the same as my favorites??). I also can't find print and downloads anymore.

    For me the UX is down the drain. I notice I use my mobile less for browsing.. too unwieldy. Like a different browser was installed in that update. At many places it needs more clicks. Address bar completion works differently. You can avoid the new tab creation by clicking Back button after you open, but I hate to do this all the time. Had a huge list of tabs open before. Now the preview thumbnails do not load/refresh, text is bigger and truncated so tab list only half as useful.
