Missed updating Chrome, how to return to the old interface?

Yesterday, Google released a 69 Stable Google Chrome update, celebrating the browser '10-year birthday anniversary by many users around the world.

Often Google describes very briefly changes when updating, but this time it is different.Chrome blog post made changes in the new version, notably the user interface and the tab highlighting the website's icon.

'First of all, Chrome has a new interface.You will see on every platform - desktop, Android and iOS - more rounded edges, new icons and palettes.We also change the appearance of the tab so that website icons are easier to see, easier to choose when you're opening multiple tabs'.

No need to be too careful, you will notice new changes immediately on Chrome 69. The tab border is more rounded, the profile icon moves from the titlebar to the toolbar, the height of the titlebar is also smaller.

1. Open chrome: // flags / # top-chrome-md in the address bar.If the top-level UI Layout flag appears, you can still change the old UI.
2. Open the next dropdown and switch to Normal.
3. Restart the browser.

If you like, you can try any other options like Hybrid or Touchable . But remember that they can be removed by Google at any time.
