How I Turned Google Chrome Into a Beautiful, Minimalist Browser

Google Chrome is one of the most popular if not the most popular browser today, but there are aspects of it that users don’t like, such as the on-screen mess that users often experience with so many tabs, extensions and visual elements all fighting for screen space, causing distraction and a sabotage of productivity.
To counter this problem, the author of the article has stripped back Chrome’s default settings and made it into a minimalist browser instead, improving focus and reducing visual noise.
The author did this by using various Chrome extensions that improve readability and organisation of the things encountered during browsing, replacing the new tab page with a Calm momentum and organisation tool, and by customising the browser’s theme to replace bright and chunky features with muted colours.
It should be noted however, that applying a large number of extensions and customisations like this can lead to compatibility issues, performance impact and breakage of pre-set keyboard shortcuts and other pre-set features.
But overall, the benefits of this minimalist setup lend focus and reduced visual noise to users browsing experience.
