Currently, the design cues in Chrome are subtle, and you may not notice much difference aside from the rounded corners for the context menu, pop-up screens, etc.
However, on Edge, also based on the Chromium platform, Microsoft has updated it to use elements of Fluent Design, including transparency effects. The new visual updates are set as default with visible changes to the context menu, pop-up screen, and Settings menu.
That said, this feature is still under development for the browser and we will likely see new changes in upcoming updates by default.
In addition to the experimental design changes, the Chrome 96 update also offers backward caching support for better website navigation, improved PWAs, site-wide dark theme mode, and the ability to set custom zoom levels. for different websites.
