This has been in Chrome 69 beta for a while, The Verge could have included a a screenshot...

I've been using it for a while now. The new position of the new tab button on the top left take some getting used to but I do think it looks really great.

You use your mouse to open tabs and not the keyboard? Can't remember the last time I did that... (not to be snarky)

You can enable the new design even in stable Chrome 68

Windows/Mac/Linux:

chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md ("Refresh")

Android:

chrome://flags/#enable-chrome-modern-design

I'm not that keen on Material design, I think its a little too "flat".

The switch to a "material" UI and Safari finally getting tab favicons in Mojave will probably be the final thing that makes me switch to Safari...

I agree. I'm not a big fan of Material design either. Too flat and I find the color palettes a little odd.

One thing that really bothers me is Google designing their iOS apps with Material design rather than using the system iOS design. They just don't feel like they're part of the iOS ecosystem with how jarring their design is.

You should switch for the lower cpu-draw and the the animated, two-finger scroll back behaviour, which makes it possible to peek at the previous page, without reloading the current one.

not sure why they moved account icon from top right corner to extensions bar.. now there's +1 icon in crowded extensions area and gaping hole on top right corner.

More space-waste?
