I hope it will fix the top-chrome-md flag, so that I can disable Material design .

I would like to see better integration of Chrome on Linux. So the application feels and behaves more like other system applications.

Now it looks, feels and behaves different.

It seems that QtWebEngine might soon get some support for extensions too:

I sorta like the newest UI of chrome on linux. its not too horribly different/less clunky.

From http://blog.chromium.org/2016/06/chr...-simpler.html: I didn't know that Chrome has such a poor change-rendering algorithm.

It is a consequence of CSS. It is just a piss-poor standard for layout from a dynamic performance perspective.

(assuming it is the same for chromium) I don't mind it, but it reduces the height of my url bar too much, which therefore reduces the icons size of my extensions and so I am not able to read the numbers on some of them anymore.
