The Modern Design UI
The Modern Design UI of Chrome adds rounded features to the application. People who like to tweak their experience to the latest of available features will especially like this, as this feature comes live on flagging the enable ‘Modern Design UI’.

The interface has a similar design to Chrome Home, however, the address bar is absent from the bottom. The New Tab Page now has a white background with light gray elements, and the icons for frequently-visited sites have also gone smaller in size and now have rounded edges too. The tab switcher has a white background now, and the tab switcher button also has been rounded to give it a similar feel like the rest of the design.

Previously, while browsing Chrome used to make the colour of the status bar a shade darker than that of the browser window. However, that is not the case anymore as now both the colours are blend into one and it is not almost impossible to differentiate the status bar from the address bar on the Chrome. This also adds to the appealing design of the new features.

Media player updates
Previously with the December update, the media player in Chrome used to have a white UI with all the controls linearly arranged inside it. Now developers have tweaked the UI and made it more attractive and impressive. The play button is now in the middle of the screen, with the rest of the functions displaying above the timeline which has also been given a smooth and slick look this time. Also, Google has added the functionality of fast forward and reverse by tapping ahead or behind the middle of the screen just like in the YouTube application.
