Chrome on Galaxy Tab S3 Why is Chrome on my Tab S3 not like on my Tab S2?

I have Android Nougat on my S2 and Oreo on my S3, and the exact same version of Chrome on both (current update 67.0.3396.87), but on my S3 the Chrome page is like on my old phone (Lollipop 5.1.1) - very basic - on the Navigation bar there are no new or multiple tabs able to be shown together in the same window (new tabs open as separate pages), no back, forward, or refresh/stop buttons next to the Omnibox (no long press to show previous/next recent history), no toggle icon between regular and incognito modes, no bookmarks star icon, etc. On my S2 I can do all of that on the nav page, but on my S3 I have to use the menu icon to do anything useful and it is very frustrating. What gives? I recently updated to the S3 and I use Chrome a lot so if I can't fix this I am seriously thinking of returning my S3 and purchasing some other tablet.
