I liked it. It felt quite natural to look for the pages in my app list, instead of getting to the browser and then switch tabs. I guess I tend to use more websites than native apps.

Also the new (old?) behaviour keeps the last tab open when I close the browser, which is annoying and a step backwards in usability. It doesn't seem to be possible to change this.

In my opinion it would have been better to leave the functionality and just turn it off by default.

My issue is that I tend to have a lot of tabs (> 5) open at once. Because apps and tabs were combined, switching between apps became a chore as I had to swipe through so many tabs. I like keeping them separate.
