Is very smooth and fast.. Still doesn't load my work site properly... Loads my home page for work but I have to click on a page that opens a pop up page.. I have unblocked pop up blocker and kept trying... Don't know what it is.. Only browsers that open it are Firefox and boat browser... Don't really need to use it if I can't access my work site..

I haven't been using the beta. Has the refresh button always been in the menu? That's pretty annoying but other than that I like it.

Just downloaded it tonight because of this thread.. Don't normally use Chrome.. Only Firefox and boat.. Since Firefox has had trouble recently playing YouTube videos I have only been using boat...

Why can't they make a browser with an Exit button,so I don't have to back out or manually close every tab to get a fresh start the next time I open it.

It seems kind of rare to want a fresh start every time, but you can do it with a few clicks. Click the tabs button (or drag down from the address bar), then click menu and there is a close all tabs option.

I've used it a little bit, but still use regular chrome as my primary. How does this work? Do they roll out updates on beta first to see how it goes before moving it out to the regular version?

Why don't you have the default set to always use the youtube app?

My current M. O. is to close tabs, then click the + button, then home/back to get to my home screen. All of this, just so it will be on my bookmarks page the next time I open it.

Sorry, not just YouTube videos.. But sometimes when I click on a link to see a video someone post about whether it's YouTube or some other website it plays the video all splotchy...

They do have a browser that starts fresh everytime, it's called Chrome. Click the 3 lines on the upper right hand side then click settings towards the bottom. The very 2nd option under the sign in setting, you can select open the new tab page on startup.

There you go takes about 3 mouse clicks but you can get through it.

I think you're talking about desktop Chrome. Chrome for Android doesn't have that setting afaik
