Is it just me or has Google Chrome suddenly changed? It looks very much like Microsoft Edge now - I just double-checked and I'm definitely using Chrome. It can't be just me of course but so far nobody else has mentioned it.

my chrome has not changed. can you say in what way it has changed? i don't know what edge looks like so i can't compare.

The top of my display has gone all grey and white in Edge style. I'm OK with that but I'm not happy with the list of recently viewed websites changing to very tiny links instead of big icons.The next bit I can't really explain or justify but the new Chrome just doesn't feel right. I will no doubt get used to it and forget the old style very soon.

@Sandster hmm. i can't say that is happening to me. i do notice one difference, which is that my bookmarks bar is missing unless i am on a new tab. it used to be visible all the time. i haven't yet gone to settings to see if i can change it back. it only just happened a few hours ago.

@Sandster i just fixed that. have you checked your settings? mine apparently slipped... and i have to mention i have a cat who walks on the keyboard and opens odd windows. she might have changed the setting for me.

I have the bookmarks bar issue only with Microsoft Edge. The Google search box has gone what I now call 'Edge grey' but in a nice twist the Edge search box is white. If I carry on this search engine analysis I might go quite mad - if that happens I hope someone will be able to tell the difference!

@Sandster try the chrome app store and install a free app that gives you a different look. i did that and i have a lovely fox portrayed on my new tabs, as well as the color scheme i want for chrome.

Thank you for your helpful comments. I might become 'foxy' soon!

@Sandster lol i love playing with the apps from the apps store!
