Add option for the iconic Chrome tab design, or functionality that allows third-parties to replace the new tab redesign

Reported by aleksand...@gmail.com, Dec 14

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 71.0.3578.80 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit)
URLs (if applicable) : 
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL, along with the version, after other browsers where you
have tested this issue:
     Safari:
    Firefox:
       Edge:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Enter "chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md" into the URL bar.
(2) Press on the combo-box next to the "UI Layout for the browser's top chrome".

What is the expected result?

There is an option that turns on classic Chrome tab design, with sloped corners.

What happens instead?

The option is no longer there, and the user is forced to use the new design.

I understand that this might have been already discussed, but a lot of users are unhappy with the new design. If at least there were some way to use a third-party plugin for the old design, that would already be something.

Completely agree, there needs to be a sensible compromise. 
Now the ugliness is forced upon us.
Old design hidden behind a flag back is all I'd want as giving extensions permissions to modify ui might give way to malicious ones in that regard.
Nevermind, just switched to another chromium browser(CentBrowser in my case, all settings preserved, any other would work as well I suppose).
I tried chrome, I tried. You left me no choice.
