Wow..Fascinating!! Long time waiting and thanks alot for new features especially google image search.
I see that Chrome 30 for Android supports policies (see chrome://policy). How do you configure them? There is documentation for Windows, Linux, and OSX but I haven't found anything for Android.
Please, please, please give me the option to go back to the old tab change gesture.
This new thing is just awful. I have to go back to the old version of chrome because of this change.
It was unacceptable on the beta version and for some reason you let it slip into release.
Put the option in flags if for some reason you think its a good change.
This is a 1 star app now and was so good before.
Hi, I've updated to 30.0.1599.82 right now and I've Android 4.0.4. The UI seems to be the same of the previous release further, I'm unable to do any swiping gestures. Can you help me?
Like Ben P, I want the previous tab change gesture back - works much better on Nexus 7. Why not at least have the option?
That feature alone is the main reason I use Chrome.
When holding a tablet in either portrait or landscape (my) hands are naturally holding from the bottom half, while the toolbar is at the top (Win8's IE metro got this right, toolbar at the bottom) but because I could switch tabs from where my fingers naturally are browsing was a great experience.
Now though, I have to surgically swipe from the toolbar's narrow address row which not only disappears (more swipes) but the tabs are there anyway, so what is the point swiping?!
Please can bring back the previous tab change gesture?
Otherwise is there a way to got back to the previous version of Chrome? ... last time I trust auto update!
Cool! You managed to kill the only thing making me use Chrome - side swipe for Tab switching. Now on Opera.
Chrome still use lots of memories.
But the problem is that it consumes too much batteries. (around 10% in 10 minutes during web surfing.)
The latest update broke webgl. X3dom and the webgl aquarium no longer work. Chrome beta for android still works.
