Where have all the experts gone?

Thank you hallux, that was me! I just signed up. You said, "Are you comparing the mobile device to the way Chrome works on a desktop? The way you describe is how the mobile version of Chrome has worked for years." The answer is that I have had mobile Android devices for years that haven't worked...
