Chromes 118 update

Everyone got the new update?, at last they have polished the look, I think it looks great!

Don't like what they have done with the bookmark bar, masses of useless white space now having to scroll up and down to see what was on one screen before. Why for flips sake?

Depends if you chose to use the new UI or not, I disabled the new UI as not a fan of it

Might have to check this out. I'm finding Microsoft Edge is getting worse each week. Websites (especially Microsoft's own ones!) take about 10 refreshes to load citing connection errors. Yet no other sites do this.

I turned off the bookmarks side panel icon on the bookmarks toolbar, only change I noticed.

Set "Chrome Refresh 2023" flag to disable and Relaunch. Reverts to previous UI, bookmarks back as they were.

Am I the only one who likes the new UI?? it looks lovely from a design point of view but we are all different I know. Not sure what its done to bookmarks as I use https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bookmark-sidebar/jdbnofccmhefkmjbkkdkfiicjkgofkdh for my bookmark shortcut.
