  • Google has implemented Chrome’s Material 3 Expressive redesign on the Canary channel.
  • The revamp introduces a minor refresh for the overflow menu, more colorful tab groups, and a new animation for the tab switcher.
  • You can expect these changes to roll out to Chrome on the stable channel in the coming weeks.

Google is steadily updating its apps in line with Android’s new Material 3 Expressive design language. After releasing updates for Gmail, Google Messages, and Google Photos in the past few days, the company has now revamped Chrome for Android.

Reddit user Leopeva64-2 spotted the Material 3 Expressive changes in the latest Chrome Canary release. The update introduces a slightly refreshed overflow menu with a lighter background and new circular buttons at the top, as shown in the following screenshot.
