The new tabbed view in the form of a grid can be comfortable for many users in the browser on Android. There are users for whom it facilitates multitasking, but for others it is a confusing design, which will make them use the browser worse. If this is your case, you have the ability to disable this feature in the browser, following these steps:

Open Google Chrome on your phone.
Go to the URL bar.
Go to chrome: // flags in said address bar.
In the search engine that appears, look for “Tab grid layout”.
Click on the option that comes out.
Set this option to “disabled” to disable it.
Restart your browser.
