Since I can’t find an easy way to send a complaint; guess I gotta ask a question.

The new update (36) adds two new features that are not desired by my personal use. Maybe someone else finds them good, but not me.

Opening the browser and then having to open your tabs to find what you were looking at previously is frustrating. If you want to have the option to have it open to a new “home” tab after idle for a while, cool. Make it a toggle feature. Being forced into this new more cumbersome feature is annoying.

The second frustration is the dedicated Home button at the bottom of the UI. Again, maybe some people find this a plus. I don’t. If I want to go “home” I’ll open a new tab. The desktop browser UI can be customized as you see fit (one of the reasons I switched to it years ago); why not the IOS browser? For me, having the refresh button down there was way more useful. Again, can this be made a toggle or custom select option?

Thanks! This looks to solve half of my issues. It eliminates the Home At Launch function.
