Latest Chromium "upgrade"...

Post by Qwazert »

...is butt-ugly. Version 123.0.6312.58 (Official Build) for Linux Mint (64-bit)
Is there anyway to rollback to a previous version?
This one has changed the fonts, the look of my toolbar, the icons...damn it's ugly! Makes me want to go back to using Chrome.

Reverting to a browser that's been deprecated is a brilliant way to get hacked, Really, you'd be just asking for it.

A temporary measure (that I guess Google will eventually remove in the future) is click on the flask/lab/experiment toolbar icon, then disable "Customize Chrome side panel".

Just got the update and not a lot different from the last version for me except the little conical flask offering 3 other features, of which one I might take them up on (saving tabs)

Reverting to an older version of chromium, no. See here:

I've just done the update on chromium and it fixed the issue with ublock. I agree I don't like the font change.

EDIT:
disable "Customize Chrome side panel".
Just done that, it worked, but knowing google, it won't last long.

Indeed, that worked to restore my Bookmarks toolbar and fonts...thank you.

Well, at least they gave you the option to opt out.
