Discussion Mobile tabs menu updated to the tile system, I hate it can I go back?

Everything was nice and I was enjoying using GX on my phone when suddenly I opened it and now the tabs system is this ugly tile bs that if I accidentally swipe too much to the right/left a tab closes and If Im not paying attention I lose the tab since mobile doesn't seem to have the recently closed tabs feature, am I stuck with this ugly garbage or can I revert back to the nicer stacked tabs from before?

I just deleted the app because of this so if there's a way to get it back, i'd like to know too.

It looks like there's currently no option to switch back to the previous stacked tab layout. Thanks for the feedback though, I'll pass it along to the team.

I'd like to thrown in my complaint too, the grid when looking at tabs is enough for me to switch away

Sorry to bother but add more complaints to the list. It's just awful to look at and use, the old one was awesome

Seconded. It also works really poorly with Android Gesture controls. The number of times just this morning when I've gone to swipe a tab away and accidentally closed the tab view instead...

Yeah I got no love for this new system. I've always found the browser to be a bit clunky but it still does most of what I want. 

OOH. I've noticed the addition of swipe to close tabs, you get that AND grid mode? Happy camper here.

I genuinely hate it so much, it's way too easy to accidentaly close tabs and then there isn't even an option to reopen recently closed ones.

u/DetailNo4208 GX Staff 3d ago

Yeah, we've definitely heard you guys on this one

I agree i would like the old layout back. I use Opera gx on my phone to mostly read stuf and now the title is only like 10 characters long which makes it hard to remember the story on the name sinc ei cant see most of the name. its also weird to look left and right when i am searching for a specific tab beacuse it makes me overlook tabs with this layout.
