Google rolled out the tab groups and grid layout on Chrome for a large number of Android users earlier this year, though talks about this update have been around for about two years. While some of the Chrome users like this approach, many users just want the normal vertical array to be back on their Chrome. This is because the grid layout definitely takes some acclimation.
Thankfully, the old layout can be put back on your Chrome if you are not becoming a big fan of tab groups and grid view. Read on to know how both the features can be disabled on Chrome for Android.
Almost all Android users can follow the steps given below. Just make sure you are using the up-to-date operating system and the latest version of Chrome for Android.
