Autoscroll when switching Chrome tabs is terrible "feature" of ios 26.2

With ios 26.2, switching tabs in chrome autoscrolls to the top of the web page. This is a disaster if you are reading a long web page, tap on a different tab and then switch back. Is there any option to stop this crazy unintended behavior? Didn't happen with whatever my previous ios was. Makes the ipad much less useful for me.

iPad Air, iPadOS 26

Have you considered using a better browser - such as Safari or Firefox - neither of which exhibit the behaviour that you describe?


Issues with the Google Chrome browser are exclusively a matter for the App Developer (Google) - to whom you should direct your request for change or update of the App.
