Google is overhauling Chrome<\/a><\/strong> and the Chrome Web Store to celebrate the browser’s 15th birthday.<\/p>\n

The company says the update will roll out to all users “in the coming weeks,” bringing Google’s Material You design with it, adding more customisability.<\/p>\n

“We’re giving Chrome a fresh look on desktop and rolling out a few upgrades that continue to make it easy, quick and safe to browse on Chrome,” said Google.<\/p>\n

“Based on our Material You design language, we’ve refreshed Chrome’s icons with a focus on legibility and created new colour palettes that better complement your tabs and toolbar.”<\/p>\n

The addition of Material You includes a “Customize Chrome” panel where users can mix and match colours, which are saved to the browser on a per-profile basis.<\/p>\n

“These new themes and distinct colours can help you distinguish between profiles, like your work and personal accounts, at a glance,” said Google.<\/p>\n

The company has also made several improvements to its menu, speeding up access to extensions, Google Translate, and Google Password Manager.<\/p>\n

The Chrome Web Store, through which users can buy and download extensions, is getting a new interface and new extension categories like AI-powered and Editors’ spotlight.<\/p>\n

Google said Chrome will also soon have “new capabilities that give you access to information and search tools while you browse”, including a “Search this page with Google” feature that automatically opens a Search side panel while keeping your place on the webpage.<\/p>\n
