    Because the flag mentioned in this tutorial doesn't affect the tabs, if you want to have the tabs with the previous design you should use this flag:

    Enable or Disable New Tab Page Material Design UI in Google Chrome  

    It is basically working now but there is a weird problem. I've set the new tab page to Google which shows this correctly:

    However, when I start Chrome I've set up to go to Google which displays in the old UI style. It also does this when I select Home which is also set to Google. That's what's been confusing me. Is this a bug?

    See below the flags I've set and the Chrome page as displayed. I see the old style tabs but not the new style UI.

    That solved it - setting open Chrome and the Home button to New Tab displays the Google search page in the new UI!
