Desktop Versions of Chrome 68
- Paste chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md into the omnibox
- Find “UI Layout for the browser’s top chrome” and flip it from default to refresh
- If you're running macOS, you'll also have to additionally navigate to chrome://flags/#views-browser-windows and select enable
- Restart the browser when prompted
Chrome 68 for iOS
- Paste chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md into the omnibox

In addition to allowing users to enjoy the new Material Design look, Chrome 68 also now marks all HTTP sites as "Not Secure" in order to shame websites into making the shift to HTTPS to improve security.
