Attachment: Lollipop's Overview Screen

With the new Android L APIs, one new interesting (but maybe controversial) feature did appear. Starting now, all Google apps seems to implement the Task system in the new Lollipop's Overview Screen. As you can see in my attachment, Google Chrome delegates it's Tab management to L's Overview Screen when Fx for Android does not. Let's keep in mind that Google made this feature optional but it seems to be a new standard in 5.0's User Experience.

I open this bug just as a feature suggestion, maybe Google will rollback this new kind of UX soon so maybe we should just wait for now to be sure they'll keep this behavior in the next Android updates…

Here is some documentation about this: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/recents.html
