It's not secret that many people dislike the new changes to the menu and tabs viewer, further there are people who will not be able to use it or severely struggle to use it. By allowing us the option of which we use and see it will allow users to continue using our favorite and preferred android web browser as well as allow those who prefer the older style of menu and tab organization.

I'd like to emphasise that,  despite recent comments framing it as such, the disagreements with the new menu are not primarily 'preference' or dislike of change,  but instead are on  practical grounds - usability,  accessibility, functionality,  efficiency, aesthetic etc...  then, there is also preference for stability and discomfort with change.

Incorrect framing could allow important and well reasoned universal critiques to be written off as inevitable, autistic wailing. 

I am autistic, BTW.

I'd personally vote for a return to the original menu and tab view with the ill considered new design consigned to the dustbin, rather than build in bloat.

Please bring back the old 3 dot menu for android. The new full screen UI is unnecessary and overwhelming to use every time we click it. Try to understand all age groups of people are using the browser and senior citizens like me. Literally all browsers were having the partial tall scroll-able menu older 3 dot menu had. Just bring back the old 3 dot menu, it was lean, modern and extremely functional.

The new UI is abusively inconvenient on my tablet. The old UI would allow me to tap the three-dot icon and have the options appear in a menu already under my thumb; now I have to move my hand down to the bottom of the tablet and reach for the option I want, with the displayed menu taking up four or more times the screen space the old menu did. And the new tab display option at least doubles the space taken up by the tab previews, easily pushing tab entries down off the bottom of the screen, forcing the user to scroll the display to see all the tabs, when it would previously take more than twenty tabs (when I would dig for information across a variety of websites) to require scrolling under the previous tab display UI. Give us the option to revert to the old style of menu and tab display.
