Google began to test Chrome’s new design on the Windows 10 and Windows 11 platforms, making it more in line with the visual style of Windows 11 in appearance. The latest version of Chrome Canary currently uses a menu design similar to Edge, but users need to enable the experimental Flag to see these changes.
At this stage, Google’s changes to Chrome are not very large, only limited to the menu. For example, when you right-click anywhere in the browser or open the main menu, you can now see the rounded corners and shadow effects.
In addition, Google seems to be trying to make other design improvements to the Chrome browser, because this experimental logo increases the transparency of the tab hovercard. This seems to mean that the window or tab bar of the Google browser is about to undergo more significant changes.
Unlike the Chrome browser, Microsoft Edge supports Mica materials on Windows 11. As you can see in the screenshot below, the Mica material makes the background color of the tab area of the browser consistent with that of the desktop and creates a smooth experience that can distinguish multiple applications.
To enable the experimental Windows 11-style menu of the Chrome browser, please follow the steps below.
- Download Chrome Canary.
- Open the Chrome://flags menu.
- Enable the Flag of Windows 11 Style Menus.
- Restart the browser.
