What users are saying

1. An option to open an image in a new tab within the same group and not something that creates tons of tabs in the background.Dear Google team, I am writing to express my concern regarding the recent removal of the getDisplayMedia API from the Android version of Google Chrome.

2. While I understand that the removal of the getDisplayMedia API was done as a security and privacy measure,pls return it..................................................................................Great browser for me, because I am a developer and a well experienced coder, so this browser had my back! The UI too is distinguishable from other chrome products, but the problem is that it crashes like heck, and cannot manage even small programs.

3. I understand they can be helpful to some people but they make it virtually impossible to disable them for others.Absolutely a must have App! The standard Google chrome app for Android was slow and sluggish on my old Android tablet and out of desperation i was looking for another solution when i found this App.

4. UI changes would be fine if they were optional as UI is one of the main reasons people use Chrome.It's preety annoying: Sometimes I don't even click on anything and just hover my mouse over something and a menu pops up.

5. I'll continue to use Samsung internet until Google stops being so damn inconsistent and dumb with themes and colors.Please restore the "open in a new tab" as it was before.

6. Secondly, in the open tabs screen there was an option to "lock" a tab which prevented it from being closed by accident.

7. I hope This will be fixed, until then, I will continue using the regular Google chrome.

8. It's a whole lot better than seeing Lightspeed System poping up, although idk why Lightspeed is there.I used to love the app but recently, opening an incognito tab closes the app and pops up with the close all incognito tabs notification.

9. I don't wanna give Edge a shot but I will if I have to.I have used chrome dev with success, but It has changed, I am not sure of the cause, it now crashes and The web view crashes and deletes.

10. Thrilled with "CHROME DEV."With the newest update my browsing experience has gone down the toilet.

11. Thank you Paul DenningUntil we pages are actually dark in dark mode chrome just looks terrible.
