Chrome: What we liked

Like its desktop counterpart, tabs are set along the top of the browser. You can rearrange their order by tapping-and-holding on a tab and sliding it left or right, and this works smoothly and swiftly. There are arguments for and against using this UI on a mobile touchscreen device; several tabs can indeed become jammed together and difficult to tap on when a browser is used on a smartphone. But we found tabs in Chrome manageable on our tablet, especially when holding the device in its landscape orientation.
