Overall I like the new Chrome Beta for Android. The only issue is that it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish the tabs in the multi-tab view. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=397399
Why was the number of tabs you have open removed from the window box, and the refresh button moved to the settings menu?
The latter was no problem where it was sited in the omnibox and now its extremely irritating, and with the former I really don't know where I am any more.
Otherwise I'm becoming to quite enjoy it but this is becoming a bit of a deal breaker.
I love everything about the new design. One thing that's bugging me though, is the removal of the arrows to the right of the suggestions when searching. Pressing the arrow would add the words to the query without searching so you can keep typing.
@Sizzers - Exactly! How this could went out to the public testers its beyond me :(

I prefer to use Chrome in the single process mode (--single-process) rather than using the default mode (multiple process), because when using the default mode (multiple process) will cause the web page refresh automatically when switching tabs on a lot of tabs, I really hate it.
Alas, loss of the number of tabs has me switching back to regular Chrome. I hope I remember to check back, every so often, to see if they're restored. Sigh.

Sorry to be so negative, but in addition to the (hopefully inadvertant) loss of the number-of-tabs indicator, I find it much harder to see the boundaries between the tabs while in tab selection mode. I tend to favor minimalist design, but this looks like a situation where rigidly applied design principles are failing in a specific context. I hope this isn't a symptom of more general failure in Material. Maybe it just needs some tuning...
Not sure if this is just a single/multi-process issue but these last two versions (this one and the subsequent update without a post) are way more (too?) aggressive with reloading tabs that have been backgrounded, even when there is plenty available free memory

Congrats on Chrome Beta 37 for Android! It looks nice.
Beautiful! Great enhancements as well.
Nice new look! Great work!
Lovely, looking forward to more Material rollouts.
Good job, but I would like to see a Bookmarks bar and a home Button for tablets.

I also notice the extremely useful search in page function in the omnibox as disappeared as well.
I hope that all these omitted useful functions are only mistakes and not the new Google way dumbing everything as Play Store a year ago :(
Why can not work properly when using a single process mode (--single-process).

Received the update to .55 this morning.
The only change to the UI is the white cross for a new tab on the opening screen is now black in a white square.

No reload button = deal breaker.
Sigh... back to Dolphin.
