Will it be possible to make a theme-pack to Chrome, to get old color and graphic back? I (and many others) don't like the new design, and we have been using the method to get the old design back as long as we could. But that ended now :-(
Go to Chrome Web Store and browse the Themes. It's easy to try them. Just 'Add to Chrome' and if you don't like it 'Undo'. Move onto the next one. There are limitations though. Nothing can change the colour or shape of the Omnibox, nor the shape of the Tabs.
Why not use v70 which still had the flag tweaks? If you install the standalone version from here it doesn't try to auto update:
Google Chrome Offline Installer
There's also Chromium or forks thereof that can be used as an alternative. You can still sync with your account using them
Like the other flag I mention in this comment, It still doesn't work.
I don't know what Google was thinking when implementing that mini-player in that way, I remember that a long time ago I wrote a comment about that in Disqus:
YouTube mini-player now available on the web, and it works in Edge too.
