The colors are brighter, making that fancy screen of yours pop.

The icon has been simplified/flattened by removing the shadows.

Here’s what’s officially changed, according to Google designer Elvin Hu. Now’s your last chance: can you spot the differences? Instead, the new logo will probably just give some people that weird “hmm, something’s different” feeling, like when Spotify changed its shade of green and people revolted, presumably including Neil Young. Google probably doesn’t want people to panic when they suddenly can’t find their browser because of some newfangled logo. The Chrome logo is pretty iconic, and everyone knows what it is. So yeah, it’s Chrome’s first new logo in eight years, but not that much has changed. *Types away at keyboard.* Okay, that is new-chrome-logo-2022.png.įor reference, this is old-chrome-logo-2014.png: Alternately, Chrome also offers a number of themes in their web store that allow you to change what the app looks like, so you may be able to save Chrome after all.Hmm. Unfortunately, it’s important to note that some users saw this option leave their flags page after an update in December 2018, so you may have to roll back your version of Chrome to continue using the older, angular design. Note, however, that while the look of Chrome has changed, you’ll still be running the newest version of the browser under the hood. When the browser reloads, you’ll notice that the old Chrome design has now returned. So be sure to set any bookmarks and save any data before relaunching the browser just to be on the safe side.

Just keep in mind that while Chrome is quite good at remembering and reloading your open websites, it’s not always perfect. You can do so by clicking the Relaunch Now button or by manually quitting and relaunching the app. Chrome will prompt you to restart the browser.

Use the drop-down menu to the right of this entry to change it from Default to Normal.
