I noticed two interface tweaks: 1. The tool bar is now a shade of grey rather than baby blue in the default theme (correct me if I'm wrong and this was the case in previous builds as well), 2. the corners of the tool bar are now rounded. See also screenshot below.

I don't know about you but I hate the new toolbar color. I want the standard blue one back. The blue color is a symbol in Windows 7 for all apps that deal with the Internet/communications. I don't understand why Google wanted to mess that up.

The new toolbar looks really nice. The gray goes really great with the blue icons from the toolbar buttons. Though it would've been nicer if it had a color to match Windows 7's toolbar colors. The rounded corners are also really nice.

What I dislike about the current toolbar is the blue strokes around the buttons and the address bar. These strokes should have the same color as the strokes for the "Pages" and "Options" hover buttons. I'm sure that they're going to fix this in the next builds though.

Now that they're working on the UI, I'm hoping they're going to fix the upper right corner next to the close button as well :p

Doesn't Chrome updates for itself?

If you're on the dev channel it should.

Anyways, I'm pretty excited. I still don't use dev builds for production purposes but I'm really loving Chrome 5. Might blow Firefox 4 out of the water.

This build seems to crash more than previous Dev releases. I've also noticed it's slower to open after the browser has been closed previously. I like the new color scheme and the Omnibar not displaying HTTP anymore. I am really looking forward to see what else will be added/changed in future releases.

It's a Dev release so issues appearing from time-to-time are expected.

How do I be on the dev channel so that my Chrome gets updated automatically?

    • Anthropic trained its models on copyrighted books, US judge says it's fair use

      By excalpius · Posted

      Note that the output of any AI is still NOT copyrightable, because only a human can create something worthy of a copyright. Which is why is was REALLY important for the WGA to lock down potential abuses by the content studios about what they could and could not do in order to, for example, write a screenplay for a movie. Unfortunately, the talented artists behind creating the concept art, sets. etc. for movie and TV shows did not follow the WGA's lead here. And now most of them are seeing their workloads diminish or disappear entirely.
    • Firefox 140 released bringing custom search engine, new ESR, and more

      By RejZoR · Posted

      The option to add search engines has been there for quite a while, but with Mozilla's infinite wisdom, not in places you'd expect. You'd expect right clicking inside search engine's search field to add it, but instead, you were suppose to right click on the URL bar while you're on main search engine page. It's actually still there in Firefox 140, but you now also have it in the search engine search field. For me, the greatest change in Firefox 140 is ability to FINALLY remove extensions icon from toolbar. When removed, it moves it to hamburger menu and appears fully if you click Extensions in the hamburger menu. Finally an epic change Mozilla :worship: I like as little icons I don't need or want as possible in the interface.
