Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: "Material Design in the browser’s top Chrome" flag has disappeared from chrome://flags from version 54 to 55. What is the expected behavior? Ability to disable Material Design. What went wrong? Material Design is wasting space from the screen, with its huge vertical tab padding, and the font size of the location bar has been reduced. While this may be desirable for touch devices, it compromises usabilty on desktop. Did this work before? Yes 54 Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87 Channel: stable OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0 At least please make this available as an option. Either by flags or in Settings/Appereance.

The designer who made the change said that opinions of a few disappointed users doen't matter (you can read the big blog post about it if you want). The old code is almost completely removed from Chrome so the only possible way forward for chromium developers is to tune the new look (there are several acknowledged bugreports here) or, for the users, to switch to another chromium fork.

Thanks for the feedback, but unfortunately this is not feasible since most/all of the non-MD code paths have already been deleted from the chromium source tree. |
