Google Chrome’s new design refresh, called Chrome Refresh 2023, brings some noticeable changes without completely overhauling the browser. Here’s how you can enable it:

1. The address bar, also known as the “Omnibox,” has been updated. It is now thicker and the text inside it appears smaller. The lock icon, which indicates a secure HTTPS connection, has been replaced with a toggle icon. Clicking on this icon will show the same menu as before, but with rounder corners. The tabs now have curvier corners as well.

2. The options menu, accessed through the three-dot button on the top-right corner, has been revamped. Each menu item now has an icon next to it, making it easier to navigate and select options. Additionally, a new icon has been added next to the three-dot button, allowing quick access to the currently active Chrome flags.

3. Chrome Refresh 2023 follows Google’s Material You philosophy, which aims to create a more personalized and visually appealing experience. However, unlike on Android, Chrome does not pick up colors from your desktop wallpaper. Instead, it matches the colors to the background you use within the Chrome browser. Tabs, bookmark menus, new tab shortcuts, and the new toggle button also use colors from the same color family. It’s important to note that this Material You-based coloring is currently only available on Chrome Canary and not on the stable version of Chrome.

By following these steps, you can enjoy the refreshed design of Google Chrome with its updated address bar, revamped options menu, and Material You-inspired color scheme.
