The update was a downgrade!

I thought it was just my phone that is acting weird but seeing other peoples reviews made me realize that the latest update made the app slow. I use Chrome to play music in the background but because of the update, I can no longer do that. The video buffers and plays normally when I am on that page but as soon as I leave it, it buffers again and stops the current video. The app also has a delay on clicks; whenever I press something on a page, it takes a few seconds to register and load. Before the update, the app functioned like normal when I first got it. What happened???
