While this is true, it just returned to where it was pre-Aura, so one could argue a regression was fixed.

Read comment #16 for a comparison.

This has been approved by accessibility and is as designed, but we are keeping an eye on feedback here.

Issue 612892 has been merged into this issue.

 Issue 674585  has been merged into this issue.

 Issue 678058  has been merged into this issue.

 Issue 677896  has been merged into this issue.

The problem in long run is not the font size per se, but the fact that it cannot be adjusted, at least on Windows.

You can easily adjust the font size of the content, not as easily but still can 
- of tabs and bookmarks. But you have 0 control over the size of the address bar font and the extensions icons.

It's quite lame, considering the growing trend for user to be able to easily zoom in / out everything has been there for a while.

Right now the issue is exacerbated by the fact you made the material design compulsory.

You might monitor the feedback, but keep in mind that majority of the users have no idea about the possibility for the feedback - chrome is used by millions of non technically savvy people, and those of them, for whom this font size is too small, are having their eye-sight deteriorate right now, while you are contemplating what to do (if anything).

Once you (may be) increase the font size, it will be a one-time fix, the very same problem may (and will) happen again (it did happen before - you can easily find very old bug reports about the address bar size), and again, it will take very long time for it to get fixed.

The long time is understandable. So please just make the font-sizes of all actively used elements adjustable, to solve the core of the problem.

How are you referring to adjusting the size of tab title fonts?  Through system font settings?  The omnibar ought to respect those too, and not doing so is IMO an accessibility bug.

In other words, Chrome should be just as accessible as everything else on the system, it should be adjusted using the same controls and preferences you use to adjust everything else on the system, and when it doesn't, we should simply fix that, not hack around it by changing the default font size up or down or adding Chrome-specific one-off settings that, like your argument about feedback, most users will have no idea exist.

I think I'm agreeing with the core of your suggestion, just not the solution that this bug is dedicated to.

I agreee. So should I create new issue then about some elements not respecting / not controllable by system settings, since this one is closed / WontFix ?

Because I don't think that "wontfix but keep an eye on the feedback" is appropriate for this issue severity

Okay, found someone created an issue for this already in June:
