looks nice, but yeah i can kinda see why you'd wanna move the + , you might be able to do that with a Extension eventually? . i prefer those Tabs than what Firefox Had, they were to Curved. these are more square/curved

anyone have any idea when this New UI of Chrome is supposed to be released to the public ? it isnt in the Beta 69 . Tabs etc

Hopefully they saw the error of their ways and reverted it. I think I am going to move to Firefox anyway. Chrome has turned into a garbage browser.

If you don't like the new UI you can revert to the old way for now, by going to chrome://flags and searching for UI Layout and setting it to "Normal" in the dropdown, then restart.

 

If you revert, you will lose the new password manager but that's it, the fancy new omnibox searches will still work.

Chrome page flashing is really annoying to me, I have read that disabling hardware acceleration fixes it but then I get font rendering issues on some pages.

HWA causes majority of problems in all Browsers

 

for me, i find Page rendering in any Chrome/Chromium browser is crap with or without HWA on

I stick with it for the sync and better cast to Android TV. Edge completely fails at casting.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
