Description of the issue:
I updated Brave Browser on Android yesterday and the UI changed. I cannot use tab grouping any more. By tab grouping I mean: previously I was able to open multiple tabs in separate groups which were presented as squares with thumbnails for all tabs open within a group. I could close whole groups, move individual tabs between different groups, etc.
Currently I can only click an icon with a number at the bottom of the screen (e. g. saying “11”,meaning 11 tabs open) and see a list of all open tabs in a single place without thumbnails. This is extremely uncomfortable for me because:
- I cannot group tabs by various topics (shopping, social media, music, etc)
- I cannot preview tab content because there are no thumbnails any more
- It was easier to navigate using groups and thumbnails than a plain text list
- I was used to the grouping UI as a long time user
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Before the update I was able to use tab grouping with thumbnail previews. After the update I can only use a text list showing all open tabs.
Expected result:
I would like to use the tab grouping feature again with thumbnails.
