Looks a little smaller, but I dunno if I would have noticed if not for this thread. I don't see anything that makes me want to gripe.

What's this talk about the back button? I still see a back button.

I think they meant that before the update you could hit the backspace button to go to the previous page instead of clicking the back button, whereas the new keyboard shortcut is alt+backspace alt+back arrow key. I never really used that feature much though...

the new shortcut is actually not alt + backspace but alt+ arrow keys (left goes back, right goes forward)

Oh yeah, my bad. Thanks for pointing that out. BTW, did you end up going back to the non-Material design?

That shortcut has been around a long time, and is present in Windows windows as well.

Ah, yeah, I wasn't paying enough attention.

I preferred alt+left arrow key myself. I never liked when I was typing something on a webpage and accidentally hit backspace after losing focus in the text field or however I'd accidentally backspacewhatever myself back into my history.

Though it's much better nowadays since browsers tend to restore whatever you had in the text fields.

Almost totally out of the subject, but sience we are talking about chrome updates... A few updates ago, i noticed when i open a link in a new tab, it doesnt load as soon as i open, but only when i select that tab. That didnt happen before. Is there a simple way to set it as it was before, so many tabs can load diferent pages while i read the first one? Any help will be appreciated.

you need to go in the option and change it, it is kinda weird because the default setting is to load the tab the moment it open, not the other way around

That has already happened to me about 2 months ago when I upgraded to Win 10. Since then I had to deal with all those smaller things etc. I still can't get used to them all since it's not just Chrome but also Windows itself. I even contacted Microsoft about it but they just apologised that they can't help me with that (lol). When I somehow got Windows things a little bit better, Chrome was still too bad for me. I've been "suffering" because of that for 2 months or more already and I was surprised that nobody else had that problem or noticed anything. Now I see I am not alone. I will try to switch back to the old look later using those tricks someone posted here and hopefully the old good Chrome will be back :)

PS. I have even considered rolling back to Windows 7 just because of Chrome.

I restarted my computer and it changed. What.
The new design feels simpler and sleeker but it better be actually lighter and stop hogging 12841924021 ram.

Just updated and noticed the back, forward, reload etc buttons have awful flashing visual effects. Anyone know how to disable that?

EDIT: All good, changed it here chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md to Non-Material.
