So chrome updated it's design to a new and (imo) shittier version. The tabs are huge, the auto-fill is ugly as all hell, the icons are annoying, etc.

Getting the old tabs and URL design bar back:
Go to your URL bar, copy-paste this: chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md & click enter.
Switch to normal.
Relaunch Chrome.

Getting the old "new tab" previews back (instead of icons):
Go to your URL bar, copy-paste this: chrome://flags/#ntp-icons & click enter.
Switch to disabled.
Relaunch Chrome.

Get the old "new tab" design:
Go to your URL bar, copy-paste this: chrome://flags/#ntp-ui-md & click enter.
Switch to disabled.
Relaunch Chrome.

Http domains not displaying full URL:
Go to your URL bar, copy-paste this: chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-scheme-and-subdomains & click enter.
Switch to disabled.
Relaunch Chrome.

URL -> Website instead of Website -> URL:
Go to your URL bar, copy-paste this: chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-swap-title-and-url & click enter.
Switch to disabled.
Relaunch Chrome.

Reduce white space in URL:
Go to your URL bar, copy-paste this: chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-vertical-margin & click enter.
Switch to disabled.
Relaunch Chrome.


Disable Favicons (Suggestion Box):
Go to your URL bar, copy-paste this: chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-show-suggestion-favicons & click enter.
Switch to disabled.
Relaunch Chrome.

Get the New Tab Thumbnails Back::
Go to your URL bar, copy-paste this: chrome://flags/#use-google-local-ntp & click enter.
Switch to enabled.
Relaunch Chrome.

I KNEW something was off!?!?!.. I was like "Why does CHROME look so different???
Instead wasting time on design they should do something about how Chrome rapes my ram all day.
