Google recently rolled out the latest Chrome Refresh 2023 UI it’s known for Google Material 3 and Material You. With this design, google wants to modernize the look of the browser. The browser remains flat but makes use of rounded surfaces and prominent animations & gradients

Unfortunately, there’s no option available in the browser to restore the changes. But still, it’s possible. Below in this blog post, I will show you how to do that.

In the Chrome browser, you need to type ‘chrome://flags‘ and hit enter. This will take you to the Chrome Experimental features page.

Here, IN the search box type Chrome “refresh 2023” This will highlight four feature flags:

• Chrome refresh 2023
• Chrome WebUI Refresh 2023
• Chrome Refresh 2023 New Tab Button
• Chrome Refresh 2023 Top Chrome Font Style

You need to disable all the features. For that, use the drop-down next to it, and change the setting from Default to Disabled. Do it for all the feature flags.

After that, relaunch the browser to apply the changes.

Now this will revert the Chrome earlier UI. As simple as that!
