\nChrome is turning ten, and it\u2019s getting a makeover to celebrate. Google today announced a wide set of changes coming to the world\u2019s most popular browser \u2013 some aesthetic, and some functional.
Most notably, the app now has a flatter, rounder design more in line with Google\u2019s Material Design principles; these changes will be seen on both mobile and desktop. Website icons are now easier to see when you\u2019ve overloaded a window with tabs, and menus and other design elements have been tweaked and simplified throughout various versions of the app.

In terms of utility, here are some of the most notable changes:
The update is rolling out to users today. In case you\u2019re wondering about performance, Google says it continues to work on improving startup time, latency, memory use and more, although it doesn\u2019t seem we\u2019ll see changes there to this particular build.
