The Chrome for Android grid view, which also adds Tab Groups, is now widely available. It’s been almost a month since Google rolled out the redesign, though the company has yet to officially debut it. The reaction from end users continues to be mixed (give us your thoughts in the comments below).
If you don’t have this revamp enabled, closing Chrome from the Recents menu or restarting your phone should do the trick. Meanwhile, one permutation that features the “Google” logo at the top of the tab grid is being tested.
Some users dislike this new layout given their muscle memory for the previous interface that has remained relatively unchanged for years. Meanwhile, this grid view has been in use for some time now on Chrome for iOS.
At the moment, you can turn it off by entering the below link in the address bar, tapping the dropdown menu, and selecting “Disabled.” Relaunch your browser afterwards by clicking the blue button that appears at the bottom of your screen. You might also need to close Chrome from the Recents multitasking menu or force stop under App Info.
