Was it just an ordinary update or are you lumbered with the black/grey screen with the 'i' in a circle on the left too?

Some of the icons have changed, the homepage is an arrow instead of a little house , arrows and reload are thinner and other little changes but nothing major
There is a little I in the address bar if I point at it it says view site information.

I got a message the other day telling me I was still using an old version of Google Chrome and would I like to update it. I said 'No thanks' and kicked it into the long grass......But It downloaded anyway. Talk about being in control!

If you click on the little 'i' it tells you the site is not private.

You want to Google the uproar about it - there's plenty of sites with folk F'ing and Geffing, as I found this afternoon. So many uptight people. Some have problems with dark colour and viewing tabs. Nothing to assist them to change the colour back to help them with their problems.

It's the 'control' act...you know, like it or lump it scenario from Google.

Yes I know Meg. See my original post:

The appearance is now dark grey or black and where the http and green lock used to be it's now a circle with an 'i' in it.
Clicking on that says 'Your connection to this site is not private'.
Every site I have previously used was secure with the green padlock.
But, according to Google Chrome, they aren't/weren't secure
(including this one BTW) and my BT account and emails.
