I switched to Cent Browser from Chrome mainly because of the bad design decisions, but also because Cent is way more configurable. Thanks for that.
Now with the newest version Of Cent the flag
UI Layout for the browser's top chrome
Is missing the "normal" option. So I get the samer awful design as I got in Chrome. Is it possible to reactivate that option? Can I do something besides the flag to get the old look back? I would really like to not have to switch browsers again ...
For now I went back to 3.6.8.99
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
There are hundreds of files changed behind this flag.
So it is hard work to bring it back.

Thanks for the quick reply.
How shall I interpret your answer? Are you working on it or is it too much work and effort to deimplement that? (in that case I would have to look for another browser again)
There is no need for excuses, since this is not your fault, but a fault of the Chromium developers, that do awful design, UI and UX decisions.

Common guys, did this "stupidity bacteria" also start gradually eating my favorite and the most fantastic of all times Cent Browser? I was really sad to see the top-chrome-md's normal flag gone in your latest update... Do not copy all the dumb stuff from Google, Microsoft, Skype (owned by Microsoft now too), and all the other feeble-minded participants of this category. Let your happy users to decide which options to go for, do not decide INSTEAD of us! Let us choose, do not FORCE it, like Google Chrome does, see the difference? I think you are aware how many billions of users are on Cent only because of this "old chrome design" aren't you? I hope my favorite Cent will not copy-all-the-crap from Google-Chrome one day and will not change its name from Cent Browser to Google Chrome 2 or something... Although it pains me to see the first contamination signs of this bacteria I am sorry to say, but the sooner the treatment starts the quicker and easier it will be cured.
Xanathon, I have a work-around for you. Downgrade to an earlier version and turn off their auto updates. I did it straight away as well after this "update" had slipped in. The "old chrome" design is back :-)
Keep your Cent Browser as great as it has always been, do not ruin it!

You may try changing "Tab shape" in chrome://settings/appearance to "Square".

They're both ugly, but I actually think the square option is the worst out of the 2 cause it makes the tabs more indistinguishable from one another. The rounded one at least creates a tiny space on the upper part between tabs.
Of course, doesn't compare to the trapezoid tabs.

If can't bring back the trapezoid tabs, I suggest Cent developers try to make more parameters of tab bar available for user configuration. For example, padding around favicon and close button, height of tabs, the width of white space at the right of the newtab button, color of close button when hover, etc.
