chrome://about leads to an HTML unformatted page

Project Member Reported by abdulsyed@chromium.org, Feb 21 2017 
Chrome Version: 58.0.3018.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit))
Same thing in Stable as well
OS: 	Mac OS X

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1)go on chrome://about

(2) Page is just a basic HTML list of all chrome links, without any details. I am not sure whether this is intended, but the page doesn't provide any details of what those links are. Usually, when trying to find a version, "About" pages are the place to go. This page just looked a bit odd, and doesn't seem to match other style pages. 

(3) Raising a bug since I'm not sure if this is a regression from earlier versions. There doesn't seem to be style consistency either between the different chrome:// pages.



For graphics-related bugs, please copy/paste the contents of the about:gpu
page at the end of this report.

Selecting Chrome on the browser, and then "About Chrome" leads to the help page, but the title for chrome://help is About.

We consider pages that are accessible via menus (eg help/chrome - which is our "About Google Chrome" menu item, extensions, history, settings, bookmarks, downloads) to be UI surfaces where visual consistency and UI polish are important.

For the dozens of other internals pages that exist for development purposes and are only accessibility via manual navigation, however, we don't spend time on UI design or style consistency. //about is one of those pages. Your naming point is valid but I don't think this is worth changing - at worst it's confusing developers only.

To find the exact version of your Chrome client, you want //version.
