Google Chrome browser is celebrating its 15th anniversary. The desktop version of Chrome is about to get a new look. The Material You design language will be updated in the next few weeks and adopt a fresher color combination.
You can preview Chrome’s new look in the pictures and GIFs above. The most obvious change is that various parts of the browser look more rounded, such as the rounded corners of the window.
Additionally, Chrome automatically adjusts to the operating system’s dark and light modes. The update also brings some small tweaks, such as an improved three-dot menu and easier access to Chrome extensions, Google Translate, and Google Password Manager.
In addition, Google will also update the interface for the Chrome Web Store, also adding a Material You design style and rounded corners.
It is noticed that Google will also make some updates to Chrome’s Safe Browsing tool to help users stay safe while browsing the web. When a user visits a potentially dangerous website, Google currently compares the website to a list of malicious websites that is stored locally and updated every 30 to 60 minutes. But in the next few weeks, Google will instead check in real-time whether a website is on Google’s list of malicious sites, which can prevent users from visiting a malicious website that has just been created. Google expects this will improve Chrome’s ability to prevent phishing and malware. 25% protection capability.
