[Update: More changes] Google is tweaking Chrome’s design

Google Chrome has kept the same design for quite a while now, but Google is now making tweaks to it. After changing Gmail and Google Drive’s web-design to match the new Material Design, Google is doing it for Chrome too.

Update 6/5: Article has been updated to reflect the newer changes.

The changes

This isn’t a radical overhaul like Gmail’s design update was, but there are a few small changes:

1. The tab that shows the site details is rounded off and is slightly shorter in length than before. The overall tabs structure is brighter and more colorful. The URL view no longer shows “https://www.”

2. The right side gets the “new tab” button.

How can I get these?
