Issue descriptionactions such as "CLEAR BROWSING DATA" are not as conspicuous as they could be. I don't have the telemetry as you do, but I would imagine there are 1-5 key actions users will take when they hit chrome://settings. At a guess, i'd say: - Change Font [Size, probably] - Startup Page - Password Manager - Clear Browsing Data [while you can get there from chrome://history, settings is traditional] - Security. Maybe. would you guys consider a CTA style quick-link bar thing (this is word-wireframing :)) at the top that enables these quickly? that'd avoid the need to scan to figure out where the setting is. Search is great, but that requires the user to have knowledge as to what the setting might be called, or other keywords to get to it -- which for most users is unlikely to be easy.

@tbuck: For sure, and I believe you are using the telemetry... Still, the page is giving equal weight (once advance is expanded) to third party services such as Google Cloud Print, Default browser + file system paths, profiles + appearance and site/start behavior, all at the same *visual* priority. The result, (IMHO) ends up being a somewhat chaotic view that has unbalanced IA - it's really not clear how to find stuff [which, i am sure, is the reason behind the new search bar quick access...] I'd argue that this is a really honest use of tabs (https://material.google.com/components/tabs.html#tabs-usage) - group together like items which allows you to give greater context to them, and more room to breathe together. I'd definitely feel like that was a genuine UI design upgrade - nice, clean, flat material UI but with a recognizable UX that helps me relate the ideas together.

oh, and I took a look at this in canary- the narrower column view is definitely better, but the overall IA concerns still seem unaddressed.
