Tabs of Chrome now looks exactly similar to Firefox whereas the address bar has curved borders. Shortcut icons are modified from large squares into smaller circles. So now 10 shortcut icons can be accommodated instead of 8 icons earlier. A new interface is experienced on the Settings page also.


Google Chrome is the lightweight and most popular browser due to its consistent user experience across any platform. Chrome is already improved in terms of security aspects in their recent upgrade. In a bold step further, they have announced to uplift the look and feel in the next upgrade which is a massive design revamp.

The new version of Chrome is planned to be rolled out at the beginning of September according to 9to5Google. This upgrade will apply to all operating systems across all devices.

Google has already developed the "Material Design" framework for responsive design which is a tough competitor of the Bootstrap framework.

The upcoming roll-out of Chrome will be based on "Material Design" themes to include rounded edges. The browser tabs will now appear in the form of a pill shape which is a huge divergence from the initial launch of Chrome that had angular edges.
