Google Chrome users should prepare for a major UI redesign, which is already being previewed through the nightly "Canary" build. Following on the heels of Android P and Gmail.com, Chrome is getting a Google Material Theme makeover comprising changes to the tab and address bar. Critics say the designers have merely copied Firefox Quantum.

The first thing you'll notice is the tab bar. Tabs now have a rectangular shape with rounded corners instead of the trapezoidal shape of the current design. Tab separation has also undergone a lot of changes. With a single tab open, you won't see a distinct tab shape at all. The current tab is always white, and in single-tab mode, the background of the tab bar is white too so everything blends together.

"They" always say things work in circles/cycles, I guess this is Chrome finally coming back around on the backside...

These type of UI changes always come across as someone trying to justify their job and incompetent management falling for it.
"If we move the home button the left side of the menu from the right side, where it has been for years, profit!!"

yeah.. im not seeing the point here. seems like change.. for the sake of change.
 
can updates get any more meaningless? they can, just look at facebook's app update that happens every two weeks.
