 Chrome is getting a big redesign, with rounded corners, Material You colors

It has pastel colors, a longer menu, and not a single sharp corner.

 @872ab8e1 But not one mention of its new personalized ad tracking with opt-in being the default. I don't expect you to ignore the most popular browser on the planet or making everything a hit piece on Google.  That being said, I don't want to see cheerleader pieces, either.

I’m sure all those rounded corners will make up for the evil shit they are doing under the hood.

 @872ab8e1 Sadly this is all it will take for the general public to prefer this spyware to the alternatives.. stop giving them positive attention.
