Version 26.0.1410.50
This is very much a surprise. Chrome is now pretty much accessible! The Tabs now work very well!
Now when you enter the Tab page. You will now see a Card Close button follow by the page that is open for that Card. Just double tap on the Card Close and it is now closed.
The only minor issue is that on the main page just left of the Tab button is Settings. This is really not the Settings button. Just re-label this as Menu. Once you have done that. If you go in to the Menu. At this point you will see the Settings with in this Menu. Plus, along many other features.

As far as I can tell from re-opening the app after updating, at least from a VoiceOver user's perspective, nothing has really changed. The settings button is still the menu button, but that takes a few seconds to re-label.
Crome
Can you play videos like IE? Does it has some type of flash player?
Accessibility broken on latest version of Crome
After doing a google search with Crome, every swipe causes the focus to land in the search field. Do not update to the January 27 version.
The Google browser for iOS is a much better option and has a cleaner Web Interface for voice over users.
Actually it happens on every
Actually it happens on every page you browse with Chrome. Every time you flick the focus jumps to a form and VO says "Previous Field".
No idea what happened but now Chrome is unusable with VO. Totally accessible yes but unusable.
