Material Design is slowly coming to Chrome, take a peek
Google has planned to bring Material Design to Chrome for more than a year, but efforts to bring the design language to the browser have recently started accelerating.
According to a recently filed request on Google Code, it’s expected the first Material Design tweaks will appear in Chrome OS starting with version 50.
We’re able to get a look at the changes today, which are hidden behind a number of special flags as they’re unfinished, but almost complete.

The changes are fairly minimal at first glance, but the browser now uses square edges on tabs rather than rounded ones and ditches the ‘hamburger’ menu for three dots instead. The buttons animate when clicked using small explosions from under your mouse.

It also redesigns the infobars, security icon and bookmark buttons.

A design specification from Google Code also shows a preview of the new all-black incognito mode that’s part of the redesign but may change as it’s implemented.

A number of smaller changes are littered around the browser, such as improved scrolling bars, tweaked buttons, new icons and more.

There’s a number of other pages individually being redesigned by the Chrome team, including Downloads, Extensions, Settings and History. These have already made their way into the browser on Windows and Chrome OS, hidden behind individual flags.
