How to disable chrome tabs in android recents menu

Following the  lollipop update, The recents menu (app switcher) has been revamped by Google and now shows the apps as the stacked cards which you can swipe and to switch between apps or choose to close it.

Google has added one distinct feature to it that your opened chrome tabs also appear as separate cards. So lets say you have 4 opened tabs on your chrome browser they will all show up as different cards.

This may seem like a useful feature many people may not like it specially if you have many tabs opened which may look like a mess in recents menu.

If you are one of them you'll be happy to hear that you can turn it off. To do this,

• Launch chrome
• Open menu
• Go to settings
• And tap ' merge tabs and apps '
• Set slider to off

That's it now chrome will appear as single card even if you have multiple tabs opened
