The font in the address bar is too small to read comfortably

Reported by ejda...@gmail.com, Jan 3 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Have the most recent version of Chrome
2. Search using the address bar; you'll see a reduction in font size.

What is the expected behavior?
Ideally, font size is large enough in that reading its text is "comfortable." 

What went wrong?
With the recent update to Chrome 55, there has definitely been a change with the font size. It is my belief that the text in the address bar is legible, but to the point where it's uncomfortable to read.

I have glanced on the official goggle chrome help pages, and many users are mentioning this issue. 

Did this work before? Yes Version 54.

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

This is NOT a situation where I'm just complaining because chrome "changed." I am noting that using chrome has now become a detriment due to this change.

I don't understand how it can "not be a problem" when it was the #1 complaint on a recent reddit thread about Chrome 55.

At least give people the option to increase the font size. I don't even understand why it was changed in the first place.
