Has anyone updated google chrome yet? New material design UI rolling out. I have the update, but I've read mixed reviews about so I'm not sure if it's worth it. Thoughts?

Decided to try it out with beta chrome. I definitely like the new animations and look, but I think it took a step back in functionality. Moving the refresh button to the settings menu was stupid. Just adds an extra step and is cumbersome. Also, I'm not a fan of how they made the address bar bigger, as it now takes up slightly more screen space.

Looks good, but the look itself is not enough for me to update.

I also think that was a really dumb change. Hampering function for a very, very minor aesthetic reason makes little sense in my opinion.

I like the look, for the Refresh, click the address URL then the keyboard pops up, then click Go. It's easier than going into the settings.
