Right now, the tab design on tablets is similar to what we see on PCs, but Google is experimenting with a "Google Material 3" redesign of this panel. As always, you can turn it on through a special flag.
In the Canary channel, the
chrome://flags/#enable-tab-strip-redesign flag has two new options: Enabled Folio and Enabled Deatched. The only difference between them is that selecting Folio keeps the black background of the tab area in Dark Mode. Google News | En

Android 13 QPR2 Beta1 already contains a new design of the back gesture arrow.
In its demonstrations of how predictive back gesture works, Google used an updated design of the arrow, which had its own container. And the first beta version of 13 QPR2 lets us see it "live".
The new design is being tested separately from the predictive back gesture, but for sure they will work in conjunction. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to activate it by simple means. So we just have to wait.

Happy New Year 2023, our dear followers!
I think we've grown quite a bit over the past year, both in terms of quality of content and in terms of statistics on the picture. Also, we opened @gn_issues project, where we are collectively trying to improve the quality of Google software, which we will report on very soon.
Also, we're making good progress on finding hidden new features in Google's apps, and sometimes we've provided useful software ourselves.
On behalf of myself, I would like to wish that the coming year will be surely better than the outgoing year, for each of you. And for me, time and energy for new posts 🙃.
Once again, happy New Year to all! Thanks for you support, You guys are the best! See you next year! 🎉
