Haha, no. I'm in my 30's.

 

Am I the only one that doesn't like or use smooth scrolling in web browsers?!?

What's supposedly "wrong" with the tabs in Chrome?

Mozilla does not think anything is wrong with them as they copied them.

[torrentthief]

is anyone else getting italic fonts on neowin homepage and in this text box that i am typing in? Think this happened when i installed the latest build of chrome 64bit.

 

microsoft edge shows normal non-italics font. Haven't tried firefox, IE or opera.

[SnoopZ]

No italics on the latest stable Chrome build for me.

WebAssembly,for creating a low-level programming language for in-browser client-side scripting with cross-browser support is making more progress

It looks pretty damn nice, IMO.

To be honest, I expected a little more than that. On MacOS it looks much nicer than on Windows.

Well, there's a reason on why it's not activated by default on Windows yet, only ChrOS and Linux and OS X have it by default atm. One enhancement that is coming to the Windows version is that it actually uses the title bar color on Windows 10 (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=505013) and with Aero Glass making a comeback in RS1 (don't quote me on that), it will also use transparency and therefore looking like the OS X version anyway.

Metro themed stuff isn't in 50?

You can enable it through about:flags but it will be enabled in Chrome 51. You can test it, in Chrome 51 Beta currently.

In Chrome 50.0.2661.94 m (or before), it looks like they changed the notification wave in a pinned tab (or whatever it is called when what looks like a ray of light rolls right to left in a pinned tab) is a much darker tone than before, which makes it more difficult to notice. Anyone knows how to increase its brightness? TIA.

Material Design is now enabled by default on Chrome Canary/Dev on Windows

New Theme with material design.

Will they ever get a decent bookmarks manager (and quick access menu) and download manager? Can't believe we're already on 50 and you need extensions for it

Is this the one you're referring to or is there something newer? http://d.pr/i/Yr49

Hmm, you should be able to! Mine's been like that since at least 51. Have you enabled the setting under chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md ?

 

[Steven P. Administrators]

Yeah but I still see the old layout.
