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.

App works reliably and as intended. No faults there. Chrome has typically my browser of choice for years. Unfortunately, on mobile, there are just a ton of ads and video ads that annihilate my battery. Even with maximum privacy/ad settings, they are everywhere. It finally got frustrating enough that I made a change. If you're on mobile, do yourself a favor and get Firefox + Ghostery/Adblocker. No ads, and a much better browsing experience.
