[Tip] Enable New Settings Page Redesign UI in Google Chrome
When you open Google Chrome Settings page using chrome://settings URL or by clicking 3-dots App menu and selecting Settings option, Chrome displays all available sections in a single page.
For example, Chrome shows account, autofill, privacy & security, appearance, etc sections listed on a single Settings page and you need to scroll down to browse through these sections or you can click on the respective section given in left-side pane.
Now Chrome team is testing a new redesign for Settings page which displays one section at a time. For example, when you open Settings page, it displays your Chrome account details only. If you click on Appearance section, it displays the Appearance section only on Settings page.
