Ratings and reviews

App was fine until a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure what changed, but now it is unbearably slow opening, closing, switching between tabs, browsing, and just slow and almost unusable. All of the other apps on my phone are fine. Might be related to the big android software update I did recently and how Chrome ties into it. I've noticed the layout of Chrome changed slightly since then.

A ridiculous amount of adds and sometimes I'll be scrolling through a website and it'll suddenly just freeze. Or sometimes, like just now, I'll get 5+ "not responding" messages in less than a few minutes. I've mis-clicked on adds that appear out of nowhere on a number of occasions. I've cleared the cache on this multiple times and it doesn't make any difference. I like using Chrome on my computer, but if I had another option on my phone I wouldn't even consider it.

I recently switched phones, and I am very... I am disappointed with getting the recent updates. Mainly, the taking away of features that made me like having Chrome. For me (and many others online), namely the loss of the "new tab" button on the toolbar and holding the back button to show the history of that tab. It's infuriating that we can't easily access settings to toggle settings like these. Looking for alternatives to Chrome as we speak.
