If there is a browser that stands out in popularity above the rest, it is Google Chrome. Despite stiff competition, Google’s browser remains the leader ahead of all of them. Chrome offers good performance, receiving constant updates for its improvements. Today we have learned that Google is updating the criticized design of its search tab button to adapt it to the design of Windows 10.
And it is that Google is currently testing a new appearance to the Chrome Search tab button, with a design that aims to better fit the appearance of the native Windows 10 administration controls. This may be due to the unsightly appearance of this button causes on many users.
Chrome changes the ugly Find tabs button
Currently, the Search for Google tabs icon is represented by an icon with a downward arrow and it is located in the upper right part of the browser, just to the left of the button to minimize the screen. If we click on it, a search engine will open for both open and recently closed tabs. We can also access it with the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl + Shift + A”.
This button with a black background doesn’t exactly suit Chrome’s aesthetic at all. Google knows it and has begun work to solve it. For this reason, in the Chrome Canary version, Google has begun to implement a new button with a more refined style and that better adapts to the aesthetics of Windows 10. The new design remains to the left of the minimize button, but it turns out to be more sober and elegant. This one fits perfectly with the rest of the buttons. In this way, it does seem like a characteristic of the browser and not like a complete with a black background that was not at all aesthetic. It even has a floating animation that is in tune with the rest of the buttons.
Now available in Chrome Canary
As we have mentioned, the new design of the Search tabs button is already available in the testing phase in Chrome Canaray. In order to activate it, we must have this Canary version of the Google browser installed, if we do not have it, we can download it from here. Once executed we must access the flags page. To do this, we must write the following in the navigation bar:
chrome://flags/
Once inside we use the search engine at the top to write “Windows 10 Tab Search Caption Button”. This will make this function appear at the bottom, which by default is not activated. To do this, it will only be necessary to press the button on the right side and select “Enabled”. Once activated, we only have to press the “Relaunch” button to restart the browser and the changes take effect.
Once this is done, the browser will restart, letting us see the design of the new tab Finder icon. If all goes well, and the new design works as it should, the normal thing is that it becomes available in the stable version of the browser in a period of about 6 or 8 weeks.
