I updated it on my 10" tablet, not on my phone yet. The UI on a smaller screen could be different.
I'm not happy with the lack of plugins. This is at least the second time they did it recently. If they want to piss off users and extensions developers they are very good at it.
The new grouping of bookmarks on the home page is an improvement. The old quick links (or whatever they're called) are still there but much smaller. Maybe there can be more than 8 of them, which would be good.
Opening a new tab is an awkward process with an extra step, which is bad. I hope they'll optimize it.
I configured the browser with the toolbar at the top. Maybe I'll give a try to the bottom placement.
