Google Chrome is no stranger to new features and changes. But if there’s one area that’s desperately in need of a change, it’s design. Luckily, it’s been in the works for the past few months. The new design, aptly named Chrome Refresh 2023, brings with it the flavor of Material You and will be rolling out to everyone in a few months.

But in the meantime, if you want to try it out for yourself and want a new, refreshed Chrome look, you won’t be disappointed. Here’s what the new Chrome design looks like, and how you can get it, too.
Chrome Refresh 2023 is Google’s design choice for its browser going forward. While there’s no major overhaul and all the menus and features are exactly where you’d expect them to be, the new design focuses more on the corners and fine margins, new colored areas, new icons, and a better dark theme.
The updated, refreshed look fits well with Google’s broader Material You aesthetic choice, which perhaps comes into its own in Android 13 and 14. And the Chrome Refresh design delivers just that: a refresh, not an overhaul.
