> If I dismiss a tab the "you dismissed a tab" popup blocks the view of the next tab.

This only happens if you close a tab just above the bottom of your screen. You can scroll the entire list up past the point where any tabs will be obscured by the toast (which has an undo button), and it even does so by default when you open the list with one of the lower tabs active.

To reproduce your complaint I have to either explicitly scroll the tab I want to close into the area that will be obscured, or I have to have a tab higher in the list active, then open the list, and then close one of the tabs at the bottom of the screen.

> If I full-screen a video, the "you fullscreened a video!" message blocks the entire video progress bar so I can't move forward or back.

This is/was indeed annoying. It's been resolved in a recent update for me on Beta.

I've never seen the other two things you mention and I can't reproduce them, but they don't seem like UX issues, just bugs.



Bugs that go years without being addressed are UX issues.
