The tab bar is losing its “file cabinet” branding and has a new look
Google has begun introducing a new interface for tablets and foldable devices in a proprietary browser. The thematic resource AndroidPolice drew attention to the innovation.
As the source notes, some users in the stable version of Google Chrome 112 have changed the design of the tab strip and not only. Apparently, the interface is deployed automatically on the server side. According to AndroidPolice, the new Chrome interface for tablets is “chic”.
The tab bar no longer looks like the familiar “file cabinet”. The active tab is instead simply highlighted in blue, like in the address bar. The rest of the tabs are separated by a light line. When there are a lot of tabs, the bar will become scrollable.
