Google Chrome introduces a new Win11 Mica fillet look, which can now be enabled through flags

CTOnews.com, August 27, Chrome is on the verge of a major design change, including a new look that matches the Windows 11 fillet design.

Google calls the new design "refresh 2023," and there are few major changes in the browser interface, basically replacing sharp corners with rounded corners, adding new colors to some buttons, and so on.

Google has now added the flags experimental logo of "refresh 2023" to its stable branch. CTOnews.com here is a tutorial on how to enable the new look and feel of Chrome in version 116:

Open chrome://flags

In Chrome, search for "refresh 2023" and enable all flags related to the new design, such as # chrome-refresh-2023 and # chrome-webui-refresh-2023

Restart the browser

At present, the new look of Google Chrome browser uses a material design that is consistent with the Mica effect of Windows 11. I believe most users who will like the look of Win11 will like this design.

Of course, the new look of Chrome is still in the experimental stage, and there may be some Bug in the overall experience.

As shown in the picture above, the biggest change in the new appearance of Chrome is the "fillet", which is full of "rounded corners", whether it is the address bar, bookmark bar, blank area, settings menu and right-click menu, all are "rounded corners".

In addition, Google has introduced some more attractive colors for Chrome, such as different visual effects and new icons when you hover your mouse over buttons, tabs or menus.
