Hi! Don’t forget to hit the “Thanks” button on this video, if you can, and join our channel community here –
Google Chrome for Android received a big update recently that changed the way it displayed your open tabs. Most of us were used to (and enjoyed) the stacking card interface but the company decided to change things up.
The new Tab Grid Layout does increase information density on the smartphone so I can understand that some people do enjoy this visual change. However, it’s not for everyone and many would rather things just go back to how they were.
That’s where today’s video comes into play.
Thankfully, this version of Chrome lets us dive into the hidden and experimental chrome://flags page. It’s here that we can search for the phrase “tab grid layout” without the quotes so that all other features are filtered out.
You’ll be left with an entry called Tab Grid Layout and by default, the drop-down toggle for this feature is set to “default.” This is normal and it’s the same thing as having this feature set to “enable.”
We want to turn this feature off though, so we can ignore all the other options in this menu and simply choose “disable” as shown in the video.
You’ll need to tap the blue “relaunch” button at the bottom for the changes to take effect. And not only that, but you also need to force close the Chrome web browser Android app (as shown in the video) so that it can redraw the UI for your currently opened tabs.
With all this done, you’ll no longer see Chrome’s new Tab Grid Layout interface. Instead, it should revert things back to how they were before. Which, if you remember, is the stacked card UI.
