Google Chrome has changed after 8 YEARS – and everyone is saying the same thing

PEOPLE are ripping into Google’s new Chrome logo for changes that most will barely notice.

The tech giant was mocked on social media for the refreshed design which looks practically the same as before.

“Good lord someone gets paid to design this stuff,” one user joked on Twitter.

“My younger kid, 16 years old, can do better than that,” another said.

“If you hadn’t mentioned it we wouldn’t have noticed,” a third chipped in.

And on a more serious note, some have said the new look is actually harder for colour blind people to see.

The extremely subtle tweak removes shadow entirely, while the blue circle in the middle appears bigger.

Colours have also been brightened.

It’s the first time Google has updated the logo in eight years.

Apparently, the move went ahead to make it “align with Google’s more modern brand expression”.

In fact, each logo is ever so slightly different depending on the device you’re using.

“You might ask, “why bother with sth so subtle?” one of the firm’s designers, Elvin Hu, said on Twitter.

“We tailor Chrome’s experience to each OS, with features like Native Window Occlusion on Windows, day-one M1 support on macOS, Widgets on iOS/Android, and Material You on Android

“We want our brand to convey the same level of care.”

She revealed that the company did consider something “more different” but ultimately decided a simpler style will do.

But one colour blind user complained that it is “worse” for them to see.

“The 2011 version was best for red green colorblind,” they said.

Hu responded saying the new logo was shared early “to get valuable feedback” so the firm can “make sure they work well for everyone” when they’re finally rolled out.

The refreshed designs are set to start appearing in the wild within the next few months.
