Hi all, as some of you may have noticed Google have completely redesigned the Chrome UI for the latest version (launched Tuesday). If you want to make it look "normal" again here's how:

Simply go to the page for toggling Chrome’s experimental features by entering chrome://flags into your address bar, and change the “UI Layout for the browser’s top chrome” setting from “default” to “normal.” Once you click apply and restart the browser, Chrome’s tabs and search bar will look the way they did before.
 
The irony is the bit thats changed the most is the bit of Chrome they spend the least time looking and yet they still rage.
The general complaint that people seem to be making is that it's the only bit of chrome anyone ever looks at (as the rest of the screen is the website) and so by making it bulkier/bloated so it's more like a tablet they are sacrificing blah blah blah. IMO it's the same issue as the windows 8 start screen, some people don't like change for change's sake, they insist it brings an improvement too.
