The new omnibox is hideous and hard to see
Today's Canary update changed the omnibox: The new version is really hard too see in light mode. Please reconsider this change.
It is a bug that omnibox blends in with the rest of the UI to stop causing distraction for the user when viewing main page contents in websites?
What? That's literally the opposite of what is going on here. If that was to be the case there should be no shadow around the omnibox at all.
The current shadow is in an uncanny valley of being visible but very difficult to focus on. It's clearly a bug.
And I don't think this ridiculous pursuit of "zero contrast browser chrome" is a good idea. Sometimes you need to clearly show the separation of parts of the UI, such as the click/touch target of the omnibox. Also, without it, people won't identify it as a web browser.

there is little no no shadow at all.
Mate I see no bug here. if you do, post a picture and mark the area that you think is a bug so we and the developers who might visit this topic will see it.
