But why is the introduction of new features not being welcomes by the userbase? Well, we the users, have nothing against these features, rather it is the way in which they are being offered. There’s a common link in all the aforementioned features- they were all forced upon the users, without taking their consent in the first place. However, none managed to create such a negative response from the userbase that the Search Engine giants managed to achieve.
Their decision to replace the vertical tab scrolling feature with the new Tab Groups could be regarded amongst the worst UI changes that were hardly called for! And though there were a few tweaks (Flags) that allowed you to bring back the old Chrome tabs layout, Google decided to remove them because how could they align with the user’s interest. But wait, that’s not the end of the road, there’s more left to add.
Taking it a step further, they even removed the option to open a link in a normal new tab. The only way out now is that you would have to open it in a new tab group. So one way or the other, you cannot explicitly leave their Tab Groups ecosystem. Fortunately, there seems to be a light at the end of this tunnel. There exists a workaround through which you could bring back the Open in new tab option in the Chrome Android browser. Without further ado, let’s check out this tweak.
