In Chrome 77, when you get a lot of tabs and they get too skinny to show text, you can now hover your mouse pointer to reveal each tab's title. More substantive are changes coming to how Chrome lets you manage tabs, Google announced in a blog post Thursday.
Such cosmetic changes are only skin deep, but a lot of people care about them - look no further than the mad dash to build a dark mode into every app and operating system right now. You can reach it by opening a new blank tab, clicking the 'customize' button to the lower right, then clicking the 'color and theme' tab. The colors are a nice touch if you want to personalize your browser, though you could do so already by installing Chrome extensions. You can now select the colors that'll show on the tab strip, the background behind it and the new tab page. Google's Chrome gets a splash of color Thursday and some new ways to get a grip on the browser if you have an overabundance of website tabs open. Google lets you pick a Chrome color scheme from the new tab page.
