Below is the new look of Chrome. In addition to the rounded corners of the window, you can see that the shape of the upper right minimize button and close button is different from the Windows standard one. Also, you can customize the color theme by clicking 'Customize Chrome' at the bottom right of the screen.
This is what it looks like when you switch to a green color theme. In addition to the background color and title bar color, even the color of the minimize button and close button at the top right of the screen has been changed.
The menu screen will also have a new appearance with rounded corners. It also has a revamped menu item, making it easier to access the password manager and translation features.
The new look will be applied in the coming weeks.
◆'Search this page with Google'
In addition to revamping the appearance, we will also provide a function 'Search this page with Google' that allows you to search on Google with information related to the page being displayed. Also, in the United States, Google's AI search 'SGE' can be used on 'Search this page with Google', summarizing the page being displayed, asking questions based on the contents of the article It is also possible to perform operations such as giving answers.
◆Strengthening security
Chrome has a feature that displays a warning when you try to access a dangerous site. Until now, the 'dangerous sites list' was updated every 30 to 60 minutes, but within the next few weeks the 'dangerous sites list' will be updated in real time. This change is estimated to improve malware and phishing protection by 25%.
