WOW! Quite shocked that google rolled back one of its horrible UX 'improvements' and actually listened to its user base.

It seems like every single UX 'improvement' takes back the product at least 3 steps. Still hoping for google maps 'improvemnt' to return to a usable state (aka classic google maps).

Any ideas on why google gets UX/UI so incredibly wrong?

Google's UX team across the board should employ the George Constanza 'Opposite' philosophy: when your instincts tell you to do something, do the exact opposite of that.

You can explicitly add it as an extension from the Chrome Store. (I actually did this, because I like the manager/link sharing functionality... even though it means putting up with the awful bookmark-adding dialogue).

I never noticed there was a new one. I'm seeing the screenshots in the linked article, but my chrome has never worked like that.

I never saw it in mine either and it had been fully updated. Maybe it was only on a certain OS?
