vanx Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Google's Chrome forum is littered with complaints about this "big" interface jump. Adding these flags to Chrome shortcut's target field and relaunching helped put things back in order: --high-dpi-support=1 --force-device-scale-factor=1 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1094641-meet-the-browser-chrome-next/page/38/#findComment-597639528 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope it sticks and not become like that profile tab in the top right corner that was made mandatory.

Oh well that makes sense then, 125% DPI is what causes the larger GUI in Chrome, I know this because I had it when I was playing around with 1440p after I first got the new monitors.

vanx Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Just updated to 55.0.2883.87 m and the tab bar has become "fat" again -- in that there seems to be extra padding at the top and bottom of each tab's icon and text -- and the original shortcut modification no longer works. Does anyone have a workaround? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1094641-meet-the-browser-chrome-next/page/38/#findComment-597717166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Berry Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Paste this into your address bar; chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md Set it from Touch or Default to Normal, then restart Chrome. If you want fat tabs, set it to Touch (which looks great on a 1440p monitor, IMO).

Steven P. Administrators Posted January 2, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 2, 2017 New "about" dialog in v57? Was sent in as a news tip (not really something to write about imo) but the toolbar (with settings and search bar) also looks quite different than I am used to (see below). An extension or more top-chrome changes?

Well Neowin uses Business apps for domains, so my email and calendar is all into Google, I now have an Android phone with Chrome browser syncing across devices with one account, it's handy.

Circaflex Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 5 hours ago, Gary7 said: It is better than Firefox? Maybe I will give it a try.. I still cannot decide if it is or not. I leave both installed, however I use Chromium rather than Chrome. Here is my take. Overall, I think Firefox is a better web browser, offers more customization and doesnt have all the google tracking built in. However, with media rich websites I noticed Chrome seems to be smoother. By smoother, I mean switching between multiple tabs full of media, or from a media tab to something else, there is no noticeable lag. With Firefox, I feel there is a second or two it takes to catch up, but once it is loaded, the browser seems responsive. e-10s should help with performance, but I think based on my browsing habits Chrome/Chromium works better. Give it a try. +Gary7 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1094641-meet-the-browser-chrome-next/page/38/#findComment-597730236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circaflex Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yea chromium based browsers are nice if you don't want to use Chrome directly. I have never used that particular one, but I have used Opera, Vivaldi and SRWare.

Steven P.

Perhaps an update violated privacy?

Boo Berry Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Plus Chrome 56 should graduate to the stable channel within 12 or so days, so that may cause issues. On the bright side, Chrome 56 will have native support for FLAC! +Stray Neuron, The Evil Overlord, Draconian Guppy and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1094641-meet-the-browser-chrome-next/page/38/#findComment-597748280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
