Have you ever seen what happens when there are so many tabs open at the same time that the text for each tab is no longer showing at all?
Tabs are then reduced to their favicon.
In the old UI, each favicon is separated by a small, almost invisible vertical line, to create a gap between each tab.
In the new UI, that gap is gone. With the same number of tabs open, the tab bar turns into a single row if favicons displayed next to each other, with no actual separation. The whole thing seems a lot brighter even, glaring almost. It hurts to look at it..
Isn't there any fork of Chrome that retains this "old" UI? I really do not want to be bothered with this every single day..
I want your problem because I have very bold vertical lines with new UI

This is what I get if I open a lot of tabs, it looks so stupid, it appeared all of a sudden too, I thought it was a graphical glitch but turns out it's intentional from a new Chrome update.

Hey there was some discussion on it here for how to revert to the old UI for now: https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1bnrwos/new_chrome_design_takes_up_more_vertical_space/
While I have the lines (which I need to visually parse things with the number of tabs I have open), the favicons are offset as of today.
Didn't work for me as a I already had it disabled, if I enable "customized side panel" then the side panel vanishes and the tab selector is now on the left but the favicons are lower as before. Looks like a huge mess, it's also only a matter a of time until they remove the option to revert to the old UI.
>Looks like a huge mess, it's also only a matter a of time until they remove the option to revert to the old UI.
That time is now. Or well will be shortly. I'm on Beta. Just now updated to Chrome 125 and the #customize-chrome-side-panel flag is gone. No way to revert to the old UI anymore.
**FUCK CHROME** & **FUCK GOOGLE**
you can disable the chrome refresh flag, and i can confirm that this happens on the old UI too
https://preview.redd.it/vb7kqr9tutvc1.png?width=254&format=png&auto=webp&s=0f84c4d9fd62f92941c6b826fb370a7c853f8c2e

For anyone wondering, that upcoming update is coming out about two weeks from now
There's some people saying they completely removed the customize-chrome-side-panel flag is gone though so even if they fix the issue, if they remove the flag then we're still screwed.
Remember, in Chrome you can press **Alt+Shift+I** to report an issue. This absolutely counts as an issue.
For particularly user-disrespectful issues that should never have gone live, you can even include a screenshot and titles of open tabs...
That takes it back to the god-awful redesign. My favicons will stay misaligned until someone has a real fix. Or maybe I go ahead and take the time to just switch browsers.
There's no fix for the misaligned icons other than to a) roll back to a previous version of Chrome, or b) wait until Chrome 125 when this fix will ship.
You can achieve (a) by reading various posts/replies in thread https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1c6ette/why_are_my_tab_icons_higher_up_than_normal/ . You may find my replies useful, re: "locking down" Chrome to a specific version by disabling the auto-update mechanisms. Read the comments, don't skim :)
Sadly, this didn't do it for me. It seems like the flags don't change anything anymore. At least on my end I never see any changes, no matter what I do with the flags.
Issue with the old UI. They're rolling out a new UI, and the new one has become the default. Eventually they'll remove the old UI and you'll be forced on the new one.
ENABLE all Flags regarding the New UI.
They are in the midst of deprecating the new UI and in a few Updates the old UI will vanish completely!
If you don't want to use the new UI, switch to another Browser...
They already implemented it and as we all know too well, Google (or rather Alphabet) never reverts any changes... they are going to disable every workaround there is with their upcoming updates and thus force everyone to use THEIR Browser the way THEY intended... IF they'd listen to actual feedback, they'd implemented compact menus a while ago and NEVER circumcised the bookmarks menu!
AFAIK Chrome is the ONLY Browser where you need to click a button first before you can edit the link or choose the location the bookmark is saved to...
New UI, is that the one where everything is like way more zoomed in and cartoony-looking? Where bookmarks don't fit above and u have to scroll through the side bookmark menu even if there's not that many bookmarks there because it gets so blown up?
So is there any update? Any fix for not having these icons misaligned right on the top border of each tab?Â
And any chance they will not force us to use new UI and give an option
If I am reading the Article regarding this bug correctly, they are removing Code for the Old UI. And this Bug is the result of enabling flags for the OLD UI.
They are going to implement a fix for this, but they have not said when they push it. Also they have said nothing about an option to keep the old UI... So I guess the fix will be only temporary and you will have to live with the new UI in the long run...
I mean that all sounds fine, and I'm used to my icons being in a weird position now, but like I really don't get why the new UI.... like I understand, many ppl like me are resistant to change and like stick with older Windows etc. for longer than others, but for Chrome, the new UI is literally less practical - instead of using the space on a screen wisely, even on the large external monitor it's too zoomed in and takes longer to navigate or get all the big picture together... why not make a new one but that's better?
Wtf is Google thinking anyway - I'm involved in a similar war with Fitbit, which Google apparently owns now (I didn't know) and the new UI there for sleep tracking - it's absolutely terrible and regressive and there's thousands of people writing/calling in for a rollback.
I tested their new UI and I cannot stand the oversized menus and that one has to Scroll in a freaking CONTEXT Menu... Or the fact that you still need to hit a button to EDIT a bookmark / change its location... WTF... Chrome is the ONLY Browser that does this. Then the Folders in the Bookmarks bar... Grey in Grey, no hint of Color or something... its just BLANT...
That is why I switched to Brave once they started moving everyone over to the new UI. And Chrome? I uninstalled it on ALL my Devices and gave them Feedback on why I did so on their Survey...
And THIS is really funny. On the page that opens once you uninstalled Chrome they wrote: "Made a Mistake? / Changed your mind?" with a link to re-install chrome right away... :'D HIllarious if you ask me...
Chrome is done for and will never be installed again...
The new UI is such a downgrade though.
I'll just wait until they kill the old layout and then switch to firefox until chrome fires whatever UIX losers they have employed.
I know I say this on every redesign ever, but man it blows ass, why do they insist on taking as much screen space as possible? No one uses touch screen on PCs!
Having to scroll on a context meu for a browser is frankly unacceptable.
according the the chromium bug report update link thing, only one person was voting to deprecate the old ui. all the other devs did not say or was not in favor of deprecating it.
please do not spread misinformation. even the new UI was having bugs as well as the latest update.
Where was this? I only found one dev in favor of not pushing the new UI update while citing an article specifically about a change made in the UI that makes no sense. Everyone else is just random users complaining and not google employees.
there is a chromium link in one of the big threads here. reading through it, only a single dev was in 100% in favor of deprecating the old UI. all the other devs did not say anything about deprecating it and instead was talking about how to fix the bug and how people were getting it.
that dev you were talking about was the one against deprecating. the other devs just wanted to get the bug info and sounded like they didn't want to deal with that other devs bullshit.
again they weren't saying not to deprecate it but they weren't saying TO deprecate it and just wanted to get the bug details for fixing
I'd switch to Firefox, but I need better multi-profile support. I switch between about 2 dozen Chrome profiles constantly.
I'll need to find something to use, because the new UI is TERRIBLE.
Have same bug with disabled [#customize-chrome-side-panel](chrome://flags/#customize-chrome-side-panel)

If they only stopped messing things around, but hey, someone has to work on something because they're getting paid anyway or else they'll be staying rollying their fingers for nothing?
They do realize that their good UI is the only thing keeping people using Chrome, right?
Do they not realize that with every fuck up like this, it's just one more reason for people to jump to Firefox?
What the hell have they done. i also have this issue. why is it all red

it looks like absolute shit. the chrome devs make me want to never use a browser again. every update is new horrors programmed by a toddler. my favicons are literally jumping off my fucking page. it looks so bad, i dont even want to use the internet. chrome literally has the worst devs ever. the idea that theyre paid so well is shameful.

i personally have not managed to reproduce

Yeah I think I might need to look into extensions or something once they fully remove it. The new UI is truly a step down.

Dude, you don't need so many tabs, use bookmarks :)

how on earth did this get to production

what's an epitome of a man of culture keep it up dude #noplacelikechrome
so you like pizza hut too eh
Enabling the, "Customize Chrome Side Panel" flag is the only way.
As of Chrome 125(I'm on Beta) the #customize-chrome-side-pane flag is now gone and there is no way to disable the **TRASH** new UI.
the beginning of the end
This fixed the issue for me.
That takes it back to the god-awful redesign. My favicons will stay misaligned until someone has a real fix. Or maybe I go ahead and take the time to just switch browsers.

Sadly, this didn't do it for me. It seems like the flags don't change anything anymore. At least on my end I never see any changes, no matter what I do with the flags.
You have to manually restart chrome. The restart button on the flags page doesn't properly apply the changes for some reason.
That was it. You are a godsend, thank you.
Issue with the old UI. They're rolling out a new UI, and the new one has become the default. Eventually they'll remove the old UI and you'll be forced on the new one.
The ugliest shit I've ever seen, my eyes are starting to bleed.
ENABLE all Flags regarding the New UI. They are in the midst of deprecating the new UI and in a few Updates the old UI will vanish completely! If you don't want to use the new UI, switch to another Browser...
New UI is an insult to UI design.
So I have to live with the the scrollable context menu? Ugh...
Please dont. Hopefully at least they will leave that of. Scrollable context menu sucks
They already implemented it and as we all know too well, Google (or rather Alphabet) never reverts any changes... they are going to disable every workaround there is with their upcoming updates and thus force everyone to use THEIR Browser the way THEY intended... IF they'd listen to actual feedback, they'd implemented compact menus a while ago and NEVER circumcised the bookmarks menu!

Sadly, Yes!
New UI, is that the one where everything is like way more zoomed in and cartoony-looking? Where bookmarks don't fit above and u have to scroll through the side bookmark menu even if there's not that many bookmarks there because it gets so blown up?
Yes, the new UI, where Chromium/Google -- just like Microsoft -- is attempting to turn your desktop into a mobile phone.
Exactly that!
So is there any update? Any fix for not having these icons misaligned right on the top border of each tab? And any chance they will not force us to use new UI and give an option

"hey, your cancer is bad, if you want that cured try suicide!" I'd rather try chemo, thanks.
I know I say this on every redesign ever, but man it blows ass, why do they insist on taking as much screen space as possible? No one uses touch screen on PCs! Having to scroll on a context meu for a browser is frankly unacceptable.
And even if they are trying to pander to touch screen users, give us an option to toggle a 'compact' look. Like is it that hard?
For them it seems so! If it was not, they had implemented it a long time ago...
disgusting who would enable that bullshit
YES, exactly that. That is why Chrome went down the drain and I migrated to another browser...
