Google has made a small change to its Chrome browser, and this change is so small that I am very sure that many people have not noticed this change.
According to foreign technology media news, the world's largest search engine provider Google, a few days ago to its popular cross-platform browser Chrome made a little change, this change is not for performance improvements or bug fixes, but just a seemingly inexplicable change: the color of the Chrome browser logo icon has been modified, after the modification, the Chrome browser logo icon is more vivid than the icon we know before, but also more eye-catching.
As you all know, that chrome logo icon hasn't looked like a big change since chrome was launched in 2009, and Google later flattened it in 2011, which was a big change, but now, more subtle changes are happening on your screen. The color of the new logo is brighter, with a larger blue circle in the middle, and there is no longer a shadow.
It is worth mentioning that Google's modification of the Chrome icon, although it looks insignificant, is actually a big deal, because according to Chrome designer Elvin Hu, the repair made this time has made very personalized changes for different operating systems. For example, on Windows 10 and Windows 11, the color of the icon is gradient, darker the further down, while on Chrome OS the color is brighter and on MacOS it has a 3D appearance, like a thin disk. In addition, there is a less obvious place, that is, the green under the icon, which changes slightly from the left side to the bottom side. Elvin Hu says this is to avoid the discordant "vibrations" that can occur when the brighter green is adjacent to the red at the top.
However, there may be a reason why this change may not be noticed immediately, because Google said it will first be launched on the Chrome Canary beta, and then gradually expand to developers, betas, and finally to the official version in the coming weeks.
Chrome is currently the world's most popular web browser, whether on the desktop or on mobile devices, its market share is more than 60%, with such an enviable market, Google is certainly motivated to make these seemingly boring changes.
