Google Chrome receives some more Material You design elements

Google is quite busy rolling out the Material You themes for various products. In the last few months, the Materia You makeover has been introduced across various platforms. As of now, the address bar on Chrome is going to receive the unique treatment of Material You makeover. With this update, the address bar will be provided with more Dynamic Color on Android.

Given the new updates, the address bar is no longer small and pill-shaped. Instead, it is a bit larger and has a rectangular shape. This rectangular design is in line with the Material You theme. Previously, the search results, suggestions, and websites used to appear as texts on a light/dark background. Now, the search results are displayed in a separate card in the Google Chrome browser.

The separate cards are provided with light backgrounds in contrast to the rest of the screen. It makes the search results stand out. A Dynamic Color scheme makes the page appear less messy and jumbled. However, it doesn’t impact the appearance of the text. The folks at 9to5Google note that the material You address bar on Google Chrome appears evocative of the unified Pixel Launcher search.

The new feature for the Chrome address bar was under testing through the beta channel. It is now ready to be introduced on the stable version of Chrome i.e., Chrome 109. The new update is server-side. Therefore, it doesn’t require any manual workload. The modifications will appear as soon as the feature rolls out in gradual phases. However, if the feature is unavailable users can still access it by using the Chrome Flag: chrome://flags/#omnibox-modernize-visual-update.
