It looks very out of place in general. I loved the old icon because it was realistic, and went on well with the rest of Vista/7/Mac OSX icons.

I love minimalism but to an extent, especially when it begins not to match the whole rest of the environment (N)

I know everyone loves it, and while I love Chrome, I hate the new icon! Noticed it this morning and thought I was going crazy because I couldn't stop staring at it wondering why it bothered me so much.

So there, I said it. Looks nice with Chromium and Canary, but not Chrome in my opinion. Sorry to be the downer but... (N)

I like it. The old one was way too glossy like something rendered with the unreal engine with bloom on full blast.

Yeah but they went to the other extreme with this one, it looks like someone threw it together in 3 minutes using the custom shape tool, and it looks horrific at smaller sizes, they didn't even try and make it look good at the win7 superbar size, as you go smaller you need a sharper looking icon. This looks like they did nothing but resize it. The old Icon was a little over glossed/beveled, but this is just awful lol.

I like the new logo after seeing it for the first time a few seconds ago on my own install. Before the icon popped up onto my Superbar I had no idea they were going to overhaul the logo until I found this thread. Like I said, I do like the new logo but I do not like the smaller version of it in the Superbar. The white circle around the blue ball needs more anti-aliasing IMO.

It's neat that the hover colour for the Superbar item has changed from yellow/orange into red.

For whatever reason, the icon on the taskbar is not updating for me even though I have the latest dev build installed and the install files show the new icon.

Edit: I give up...even reinstalling it still puts the old icon in the taskbar.

^Lol. Yeah, it does share similarities :p

Are you sure that you're using the dev-builds? The regular version of Chrome doesn't have the icon yet as far as I know.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
