How to activate Chrome's new design: rounded corners to better integrate with Windows 11
Table of contents:
Google has released version 96 of its popular Chrome browser and this time everyone using Windows 11 can take advantage of one of Chrome's experimental features to make that the aesthetics of the browser integrate better with that of the new Microsoft operating system.
With rounded corners for the main menu, context menus or the bookmarks bar, activating these effects and interface changes is a very simple process to carry out and now we are going to see the steps that we must follow.
The charm of the curve
Appearance with rounded corners
In Windows 11, one of the novelties in terms of the interface has been the arrival of rounded corners that create a more pleasing appearance to the eye. Some corners that gradually reach all system applications and we have seen the last example with the Your Phone app.
No rounded corners
In order to achieve a visual change in the Google browser that adapts it to the aesthetics of Windows 11, the first thing we have to confirm is that we have Chrome 96 downloaded and installed. It is very easy to know the installed version and we only have to access the menu with the three points and then in Help click on About Google ChromeIn case of not having the latest version we can download it from this link."
"Once we are sure that we are using Chrome 96, we must access the window to search for the experimental function. Just type Chrome://flags in the browser bar and once inside use the search engine by typing the term Windows 11 At that point all that remains is to Restart the browser"
From here we will use a Chrome in which we will observe how the corners become rounded, to the purest Windows 11 style. This does not prevent this change from being used on Windows 10-based computers as well.
For now we don't know when these changes will be implemented in the stable version of Chrome to reach all users. It is to be expected that Google will still take some time to fix bugs and add more improvements.
