Google recently removed a feature in Chrome and now we're forced to downgrade the application in order to get that card UI back (for some reason) even though the settings are still there.

So in today's video, I'll be showing you how to downgrade an application or game even if it's a pre-installed system app.

The process begins by identifying the app/game we want to downgrade and either uninstalling it or uninstalling the updates to it. If it's a system app then you'll need to uninstall the updates only because you can't uninstall the application itself.

With that done, download a version of the application you want to use. In my example, the card UI can still be enabled in version 90 of Chrome so I'll be downloading that so that I can downgrade from version 91.

Now that you're on an old version of the app (or the app/game is removed entirely), you can now install the version of the app you want to use. This install should go through without any issues (if you've downloaded the version that matches your hardware) and you can open it right up.
