I just got an update to Lollipop on my G3, and they managed to mangle the chrome tabs. There is a way to restore the tabs to the normal (sane) method.

Google changed the way Chrome handles tabs in Android Lollipop. By default, tabs no longer live within Chrome like they do on the desktop.

Instead, when you hit the multitasking button you’ll see each tab parceled out as if it were an individual app.

However, if you long for the old way of doing things, open Chrome and head to Settings > Merge tabs and apps. Then just flip the feature off. You’ll get a notice that the tabs will move to the tab switcher inside of Chrome. This also re-enables the ability to close all your tabs at once by going to Settings > Close all tabs.
