The latest update of Google’s web browser includes a hidden option that allows you to activate Windows 11 graphics codes in Chrome menus.
If you have a Windows 11 computer and use Google Chrome on a daily basis, you may have noticed that Google’s web browser interface is not yet tuned with the new graphics codes of Microsoft’s operating system. The main menu, context menus and pop-ups generated by Chrome do not have the rounded corners that are found everywhere on Windows 11.
But things could change very soon. In its latest update, Chrome 96 includes a hidden function, disabled by default, which allows you to apply Windows 11 graphics codes to the browser. Their activation is trivial and only takes a few seconds. Follow the guide.

Open a Google Chrome window then, in the address bar, go to chrome: // flags.
This page groups together all the experimental functions of the browser that Google is testing. Some of these functions end up being integrated natively in future updates while others disappear and are no longer talked about.
2. Look for the flag
In the search field at the top of the window, type Windows 11 Style menus. the flag corresponding should then automatically display and be highlighted.
3. Activate Windows 11 Style
Now click on the Default drop-down menu, and change the value to Enabled. Then click on the Relaunch button to restart the browser and apply the changes.
Now open the main menu of Google Chrome, or the context menu using a right click with the mouse.
You should now have menus in the graphical style of Windows 11, for example with rounded corners. Note that this feature can also be enabled if you are using Chrome on Windows 10.
