A pretty significant change to Android in Lollipop was the switch to document-centric applications, and Chrome was first out with applying it with tabs.
The response has been quite unanimous that this has been a rather awful implementation, as one app alone potentially clutters the task switcher to the point of being unusable and hides old content in that app behind a myriad of apps and "docs" alike. Obviously it was an interesting idea, but now that it's been field-tested and found lacking, does the design team have any special plans for improving upon it?
