No detail steps required. I just launch Chrome on Windows 7 Pro and everything is 25% larger than it use to be, (address bar, bookmark bar, font, abs, etc.) and larger than anything else including Explorer and Firefox. It was fine before the latest update of Chrome 54.0.2840.71.  
I AGREE THAT THIS LATEST UPDATE ON CHROME HAS TO BE THE WORST EVER.I AM ALL FOR SECURITY UPDATES BUT WHEN THEY CHANGE THE ENTIRE BROWSERS BEHAVIOR SUCH AS THE SCALING THAT JUST RIDICULOUS WITH NO OPTION OF DISABLING IT EITHER (which chrome is known for- disabling-enabling FLAGS useless) AT LEAST IN FIREFOX YOU CAN MAKE "ANY" CHANGES TO "YOUR LIKING" IN THE about:config.PAGE OF THEIR BROWSER.
THIS LAST UPDATE HAS NOW MADE CHROME (my default browser) UTTERLY USELESS.NOTHING FITS PROPERLY ON THE SCREEN MAKING MY GMAIL UNREADABLE(too BIG emails/pics get cut-off) NO MATTER HOW YOU ADJUST THE ZOOM.& SOME OF MY OTHER IMPORTANT APPS(in chrome) HAVE STOP WORKING ALTOGETHER.WHAT A CLUSTER"F".HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THIS BROWSER IN OVER A WEEK NOW (thank god for my FIREFOX browser to bail me out) & IF CHROME DOES NOT "FIX" THIS PROBLEM "ASAP" & STOP MAKING "STUPID" CHANGES(without options) I AM JUST GOING TO UNINSTALL THEIR BROWSER ALTOGETHER.signed P/Oed CHROME user...

Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
This was changed intentionally, see  bug 410696  for more context. "Medium" size is actually 125%, not 100%. Previously Chrome would ignore the 125% setting, which was fixed, and that is why everything appeared to get larger. I understand that this is a jarring change and I apologize.

If you feel like your UI is too large, you can change the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" to Smaller, which will set it to 100%. Or if you just want websites to be smaller, you can change Chrome's default page zoom in Settings>Show advanced settings...>Web Content>Page zoom.
