Chrome for Android rolling out Material You address bar redesign - 9to5Google

Back in September, Google started testing an “Omnibox Modernize Visual Update” to revamp a core part of the mobile browser.

Chrome for Android is now rolling out a Material You address bar redesign that adds more Dynamic Color.

When you tap the Omnibox, Chrome’s address bar is no longer housed in the same pill-shaped container that’s seen when the field isn’t active.

The search results, websites, and other suggestions that appear below are no longer just text on a light/dark background.

This design is quite reminiscent of unified Pixel Launcher search, and brings that experience over to non-Google phones.

It previously had no boundaries, though the transition between pill to rounded rectangle is slightly jarring.
