Google Chrome Debuts New Minimalistic Settings Page

Google Chrome has introduced an updated Settings page. The new Options is only available in recent Chromium builds and in Google Chrome Canary Builds. It should debut in the dev channel along with the next update there.

The new page is greatly simplified, the look is even more minimalistic. There are only two sections and there are no visual elements, just text, buttons, checkmarks and input fields.

The main Options section now contains all preferences and options from the Basics, Personal Stuff and Under the Hood sections. The Extensions section is separate, but it has seen some changes as well.

The idea seems to be to simplify the layout and put an emphasis on search. The ability to search through the settings is great for finding stuff you need, but it is not very visible in the new design.
